I especially appreciate that the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, a welcome retreat after a long day. Plus, the friendly pub across the street is ideal for dinner; just be sure to book ahead.”

Satisfactory stay overall

spacious roomnewly done decorvery clean roomsteep stairssafety guidance absencefire safety
My room was quite spacious. It was to be newly decorated, which i appreciated. The room was also very clean. Everything was well-kept.
The stairs leading to the rooms were very steep. It was particularly difficult to manage luggage. I also found the lack of safety guidance a concern. There was no visible fire safety information.
