lovely stay!

convenient locationuseful parkinghuge bedavailable coffee
the location is really convenient for accessing the town. the parking behind the building was so useful, especially in a busy area. the size of the room was great and it had a very huge, comfortable bed. plus, i loved that there was plenty of tea and coffee available to help yourself to!
I did struggle a bit to pop the keys back in the outside box upon departure. It took a few tries.

the large double room was super clean and very clean. the bed was comfy and i had access to plenty of tea and coffee in the hallway. a short walk into town was nice, but the return walk included a very steep hill.
The outside light wasn't on when i arrived back so i had to use my phone light. It was quite dark.
