duncan was a great host. he was very helpful and accommodating. the location was conveniently close to places i wanted to see, and the full english breakfast was good.
Parking was tricky. Most of the area requires permits. a street nearby had spaces, though you have to find them. i could hear the road traffic from my room. checkout at 10:30 was also a bit early.

Fantastic Stay, Great Value and Hospitality
great breakfastcomfortable bedquiet roompermit parking
I had a really great stay. The host carried my bags. The breakfast was delicious I found many cereal and drink choices. My room was huge and on the top floor, really quiet. The bed linen was so soft and comfortable I slept great.
The parking around the hotel is mostly permit only. I found a street nearby with spaces, but you have to be quick.
