"It was exactly what we had hoped for being so close to the Steampunk Festival etc - minus shower etc"

8.0

We had a great stay, it was comfortable and basic, everything was there that was needed :) Thanks very much.

The water in the shower went cold or didn't heat up enough.

"Central location, quirky cool accommodation"

7.0

Central location, close to Whitestone City, parking available.

Found the bed quite uncomfortable here, but on the upside there was plenty of heating while it was chilly which is much appreciated.
