charmed stay!

really good accesspublic transportwalking tourbaggage service
The location provided Really good access to local shops. I found M and S a short distance away. Public transport was close. Walking tour starting points were relatively nearby too. The tourist info center was also easy to reach. The staff offered to look after my baggage, VERY kind of them.
The street noise was noticeable, even with the double glazing. It continued late into the night. UNFORTUNATELY, this made sleeping difficult.

Really good Central Stay

The location was central. It allowed easy access to key attractions. Communication was efficient with ample information provided ahead of time. The cleanliness and overall standard of the room showed that the owners aimed to cover the guests' necessities..
The street lights shone directly into the room through the window. This made it difficult to sleep despite double glazing. Earplugs were available, but better window solutions are needed.
