quirky and convenient stay

cute staffgood selectionamazing flavorsrandom pipes
I found the staff cute. the bar had a great selection of drinks available. the food was lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the curry night, especially the vegetable dahl, i found those flavors amazing.
The building creaked a lot. I could hear random pipes throughout the night. this disturbed my sleep, as the noises were quite loud and frequent, it made it difficult to rest peacefully!

The room includes a coffee machine and a good shower. The garden was pretty. The food was fabulous, and it was of great value. The staff was nice, and the service was good, including a good range of drinks.
The photos online misrepresented it. The room space felt limited. The room decor was very dark. It created a claustrophobic atmosphere. The pillows where hard, and I did not like them. The waste water used a noisy saniflo system.
