sweet stay!
short walk safe parking
Location was great, just a short walk to the centre. the room was nice, decorated very well. i also liked the safe off road parking. It's always nice when that's included.
the wall between my room and the next was super thin. i could hear muffled conversations and sneezing, so it was a little noisy.
Rooms

the room included basic amenities i needed. staff keeps extra cutlery plus toilet paper in hallway drawers. it was useful to have these little extras available, just in case, you know.

It was near the city centre. A short bus ride gets you there quick. a sainsbury's is nearby if you need anything, that's always handy. taking a riverside walk is a great way to get there too.

The room had wonderful period features and very high ceilings! the host was friendly and helpful. I even got a lift to the station when my taxi didn't arrive. the hotel was very clean and the room looked just like the photos. they cleaned the room and restocked tea and coffee.
i would have liked to have decaffeinated coffee as an option, that's all!

The staff was helpful when I asked for a taxi! The price was affordable. The location is great. It is only a short walk to the main attractions.
I really wanted decaffeinated coffee, but it wasn't available. The hairdryer had an electrical fault and even produced sparks! I noticed the door lock was faulty too.

uneven experience, some issues noticed
loud noises room entry
the bathroom looked pretty nice to me.
sleeping wasnt easy, even when i used earplugs. i heard every noise from the room above me, every footstep, every voice and i found that really annoying. also, i didnt like that i couldnt stop them from entering my room when i wasnt there to clean the room or empty the bins.

charming stay
warm welcome good location
the room was indeed clean, and the owner, steve, gave me a warm welcome upon my arrival. i found the location quite good with only a short walk to the city center. parking was easy and also of great value.
the traffic noise in the evening slightly bothered me because my room faced the main road. next time, i will ask for a room away from the road.

i did notice that there was no breakfast served at the hotel, but guests are allowed to bring their own food and drinks into the rooms. there are also nice restaurants approximately 10 minutes away, very practical.
