convenient stay near the bridge
friendly team locked room good beer
the team offered plates and cutlery when we ordered takeout, a really helpful touch. i appreciated that i was offered a locked room for bike storage. the bar sold good beer plus cider, welcome after a long ride. the entire family worked hard to ensure our stay was good.
the location did feel a bit unsafe and the area looked a little run down. there was also a noticeable smell of food waste in the surrounding streets which i didn't appreciate. i hope the area improves in the future.
