Fantastic Stay!

good sizeuseful washerblackout curtains

The room was a good size and met my needs perfectly. I appreciated the kitchen and washer and dryer.. It allowed me to manage my clothes easily throughout my stay. I found this particularly helpful, especially after some long walks.

The absence of blackout curtains made it difficult to sleep well. Sunlight streamed in early each morning. It impacted the quality of sleep. I wish they provide a darker environment.

The hotel provided on-site parking, a very convenient amenity. A tesco express is located just around the corner. This offered quick access to groceries. These features enhanced the overall convenience of my visit.

Rooms

ideal locationample spacestocked kitchenhelpful staff

The location proved ideal , just a short walk to many attractions. The apartment provided ample space , complemented by a fully stocked kitchen. I found the inclusion of a washing machine and dishwasher useful. The staff responded quickly to a request regarding the shower , resolving it without delay.

The decor in the room looked a little worn , though it did not detract significantly from the overall experience.

The kitchen included a cafetiere for brewing fresh coffee each morning . A wide assortment of cups and utensils meant we could prepare meals easily. Breakfast in our room was very pleasant , private and romantic.

faulty air conditioningbasic coffee

The air conditioning was faulty . it struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room. also, i found the selection of tea and coffee in the room very basic. Instant coffee sachets were provided. a coffee machine or a wider variety of teas would have been a nice touch for the price i paid.
