"Cozy room in a brilliant location"

7.0

Brilliant location, excellent communication from the host after rooms had to be changed due to circumstances left by previous occupatant.

The shower pressure and temperature were not fantastic and the room faces over a carpark where cars were bring noisy of a nighttime but obviously thats not something the hosts can control but something to be aware of.

"Ideal location and great for the price."

8.0

Ideal location with everything you need in the room

This was a personal preference but the bed is hard but that’s only because I’m used to a soft bed.

I had such a wonderful stay here! Jan and Helen were incredibly warm and welcoming — it truly felt like home. The room was spotless (honestly one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in!) and very cosy. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the town, super convenient for everything. I’d definitely love to come back!

"Excellent!"

10.0

Great location. Lovely owners. Good value for money. I really enjoyed the stay. Car park is directly behind so not far to walk. Rugby club had a fireworks display with live music within close proximity. I travelled alone and felt safe.

Everything was ideal.
