Fantastic Stay! A Real Gem!

cute owner great breakfast convenient location

I'm so glad I chose this place. The owner, Colin, was cute (what a legend!). He even helped me carry my bags to my room, a lovely touch. The breakfast was great, especially the perfectly cooked eggs. The location being so close to the station made getting around easy.

The plumbing was a bit noisy. I could hear some rumbling noises from adjacent rooms when someone flushed the toilet.

The breakfast room is very well thought out with a fridge containing fruit juices. I also saw extra milk and there was a microwave available to use anytime. Antibacterial hand wipes were thoughtfully placed on each table.
