Mixed Feelings About the Room

small room difficult parking
The room seemed quite small considering two people occupied it. It lacked a proper bathroom. There was just a small sink in the toilet. Although, there was a small shower room. Parking proved difficult too. I had expected more for the price

Excellent Guest House experience

Ellie allowed me to check in early. I was attending an event nearby. The hotel smelled fresh and everything was so clean. Ellie offered to drive me to my event when I couldn't get a taxi! The room was well-presented and everything was super clean. A nice touch was the good supply of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water, chocolates and biscuits.
parking proved somewhat difficult though. especially during peak hours.
