Really enjoyed my brief stay here. The lovely couple who run the place Craig and Anthony were really warm, friendly and offered great advice for places to visit in the local area. I will definitely stay again if I'm in the area. Good luck on the upcoming nuptials Craig and Anthony.

this property used to be a B&B, but is now more an Inn. the room, was clean & comfortable, but for us the only problem was how thin the walls were ! There was a well equipped kitchen, with everything anyone could need to cook a gourmet meal. it is a bit of a walk to attractions, but for those used to using public transport it is a 1 minute walk. Craig & Anthony were very pleasant & accommodating ...

Underrated hotel. A little tricky to get to, but the manager one duty, walked to our rental car and rode with us to get to the parking lot. Great location next to a park and close to a grocery store and resturants.

Underrated hotel! The room was huge, had a big bathtub, a double bed, a bunk bed, and even a couch — all for just £100. Super good value. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location’s great too, just a short walk to the tram station and about 25 minutes to the city center. Also loved having my own fridge and access to a 24-hour kitchen. Would definitely stay again.
