a generally acceptable experience

mini fridgebreakfast selectioncute hostsdog smellparking cost
the room had a mini fridge (very useful to keep things cool). the hosts were cute, and the breakfast was plentiful with cereal, fruit, and a cooked meal. the location was also quite convenient.
the place smelled quite strongly of dog upon arrival. the parking situation was not as expected as it cost us over £40 for a few days, though it was described as free parking nearby.

The room was impeccably clean. I found the bed to be comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with generous portions. I was grateful they accommodated my dogs with great care. The in-room fridge was sufficiently large for all my beverages.
The handrails on the stairs felt slightly sticky, though everything else was very well maintained.

Excellent Stay and Convenient Location

friendly welcomecomfortable roombespoke breakfast
The welcome was warm and friendly, and I found my room quite comfortable. My bathroom was bigger than usual (a nice surprise!). Breakfast offered bespoke options ordered the night before. I chose a sausage sandwich, though a full English was available.
Finding parking presented some challenges due to local council regulations.

New carpets are laid throughout the guest house, giving it a fresh feel. The building includes modern décor, contributing to an updated and attractive interior. I noted a fridge in my room, very convenient for keeping drinks cold (especially during the summer!).
