low pressure train noise

The water pressure in the shower was very low. This made showering less than efficient. i also found the noise from nearby trains somewhat disruptive at night. It made a good night's rest difficult.

a decent stay near the station

friendly welcome good value train noise narrow access

the welcome was particularly friendly. i found the breakfast to be of good quality and value. it was filling (especially the toast) and set me up for the day.

my room faced the railway station. this meant there was significant noise at night (mostly train movements). i also found the parking access to be quite narrow and only suitable for smaller vehicles.

short walk cozy room delicious breakfast helpful owner

The train station is just a short walk, about 3 minutes. I found the room clean and cozy, with comfortable beds. A delicious English breakfast was provided. The hotel owner was amazing, friendly, and very helpful. The hotel seemed to operate as a family business.

The parking is only suitable for small cars, and access to the area is somewhat narrow.
