great spot near university
river view helpful staff lovely breakfast
The location IS close to the university. the staff was very friendly and helpful. the breakfast in the conservatory was calm. It overlooked the river. i had a lovely time there.
The stairs were narrow AND steep. This made it unsuitable for people with motile difficulties. it should be adressed.

charming stay near the river
excellent location clean room ample parking
i found the location excellent. rooms presented themselves very clean and the finish was of quality. the area remained quiet during the night and we got two rooms near the river, which i found pleasant. i used the ample parking, with overflow parking available next door.
the shower screen did not function well and permitted water to wet the floor. it was a notable inconvenience.

convenient location friendly staff cute staff small room thin walls missing mirror
The location was convenient. It was easy to walk to the University. Breakfast was lovely (I am keen on the scones). The staff were friendly and cute.
The room was a bit small. There was no mirror in the bedroom, only in the bathroom. The walls seemed thin as I could hear other guests.
