The room included a nespresso coffee maker and homemade cookies. the en-suite bathroom was good. Toiletries were very nice. drinks at the bar were reasonably priced, i thought.

Parking proved difficult! three spaces were at the rear, one taken by a skip. On-street parking was hit and miss.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

nice toiletriessmall roomroad noise

The room was clean and had toiletries towels an iron and a hair dryer.

The room was very small and hot with no air conditioning or fans provided I asked about fans without success. The location at the front of the hotel meant a lot of noise from a busy road, especially with the windows open and I found it hard to sleep. A mini fridge would have been nice to keep the provided water cool.

the building's character and decor were fabulous. it was quaint and full of charm. the staff was obliging, and i had dinner at the hotel every night. the food was excellent after a busy christmas.

Parking was difficult. There were only three spaces at the rear, and one was occupied by a skip. on-street parking was hit and miss. it's not the hotel's fault but still, it was difficult.
