My room had everything I needed. The location was great with a quick walk into town. There was really good cycle storage and it was easy to access. The communication from the guest house was very good and my room was clean.

The shower screams for the first 5 minutes. The radiators were not turned on in the rooms so it was very cold on arrival. Tea and coffee were miserly. There were no biscuits.

espresso machine housekeeping service

I adored the immaculate condition of our beautiful double room. the espresso machine added a touch of luxury to our mornings!!! i really appreciated the daily housekeeping service. It kept our space fresh and inviting. the location was just a short walk to the city center, so convenient.

the room flooring felt quite cold. it would have been so lovely to have the radiators on upon arrival, just for that extra cozy welcome. some biscuits with the tea and coffee would have been a good addition too.

inefficient heating inadequate blinds

the location was acceptable, a short walk to the city center.

The room was cold as the heating was inefficient. there was only one chair in a double room. Quite thoughtful for two people! also, other guests passing by the front window stole any semblance of privacy unless the inadequate blinds were drawn, plunging the room into darkness.

Clean Room near the Centre

secure code super clean room cozy room quiet area

The guest house sent access details the morning of my check-in day. My room was secured by a unique code. The room I had was really neat and cozy. It was also super clean. The area remains quiet with minimal vehicle traffic both at night and in the morning

Two blinds in my room would not stay down. Neighbours across the road had views from their second floor into my room because of that.
