a lovely stay

kind staff spacious room quiet garden

The staff were kind and helpful. Their warmth really touched me. the room, a double ensuite, was spacious and super clean, it felt so inviting. i found peace in the quiet garden just outside, a tranquil escape from everything. the location was ideal for gentle strolls.

i noticed a slight musty scent in the hallway carpet, a small thing but noticeable.

family stay

quiet area friendly staff ample tea ample storage

the room suited our family well it featured one double bed and two single beds, which prevented arguments among the children. The location proved convenient, positioned in a quiet area while still maintaining proximity to the town centre. Staff members exhibited friendliness, and the locals at the bar were also cute. i found ample tea bags and adequate plug sockets present in the room.

during my visit, i noticed the stairs carpets needed better cleaning and was stained, suggesting that this area could use attention to improve the overall impression.
