inconsistent room quality

small double weak coffee
My friends and i booked double rooms with bathrooms. the owner said the rooms would be the same! our room differed greatly from our friends' room, yet we paid the same price. we stayed in room 7. it was small and the bed was a small double. Not the double we booked. breakfast coffee was very weak. it was the worst coffee i have ever had.

Satisfactory Stay

bathroom products clean room comfortable bed tight parking limited spaces noisy room
The room had lovely products for use in the bathroom. The breakfast was really good (i especially liked the selection). The hotel was clean with a comfortable bed.
The parking was tight around the back. I found only two spaces were available. The downstairs room faced a busy road and was very noisy despite double glazing.

the guest house provides parking at the back, but spaces are very tight. alternative parking options include street parking, yet finding it can prove difficult because of demand and local restrictions. the hotel has been recently renovated with attention to detail.
Dining

breakfast included full english options with fresh preparation each day. the hosts accommodate specific requests, a reflection of their attentiveness. the breakfast service offers set times, though flexibility may exist when arranged in advance.
