Excellent Stay Near the Station!
clean roomfree toiletriescosy pub
My room was very clean and nicely decorated. I found free toiletries, bottled water, and sweets to be a lovely touch. I also appreciated the pub that is on-site. It had delicious food and a very cosy atmosphere. I had the lasagna and it tasted amazing.
The bed was two single beds pushed together. I noticed a joint down the centre. This was a little uncomfortable.

the location was convenient for accessing the train station! the room was ready earlier than expected at 10am. the staff members were helpful and cute
the minimum card spend at the bar was a bit restrictive, i think it should be lower. the breakfast was average, i saw catering sausages. the bacon was undercooked.
