fantastic location with super service

city centre coffee provision parking permit
i enjoyed the location, a short walk to the heart of the city. i found the tea and coffee provisions in the room quite useful. the owner arranged parking permits for a reasonable fee, convenient for me.
I noticed the stairs to the first-floor rooms are quite steep. this could be a challenge with mobility issues. Perhaps a clear warning could help.

excellent stay near the river

ideal location parking permit comfortable bed
the location was ideal near the river and city center. i appreciated the availability of parking permits arranged by the owner for a small fee. my room overlooked the river, it had a comfortable bed and it was very clean.
the stairs to the first floor were quite steep, which presented a challenge after a long day of walking and sightseeing.
Location

the hotel sits conveniently near the river ouse, with medieval city center walls just 200 meters away. a variety of restaurants and pubs are within a short ten minute walk from the premises, quite convenient.
Dining
8/10
there are several seating areas, including table sets in the front garden, facing the river. this allows guests to bring back food and eat comfortably on the premises. the hotel does not offer a restaurant service though.

Riverside Retreat, A Fantastic Stay!

central location easy check-in warm room river view
I found the location convenient, a quick walk from the train station! Martyn communicated entry procedures and provided excellent local dining suggestions. The room had warmth, thoughtful furnishings. a river view. I easily walked to many free attractions from this central location. I was so happy!
I noticed the stairs were a bit steep, but that was a very minor detail.
