the music from the bar downstairs was audible until closing time. it was a slight disturbance but not enough to ruin my stay

my room was quite small, seriously. the music from the pub downstairs did continue until closing time, a minor annoyance. i could also hear the next room using their bathroom.. not ideal for privacy.

wow, what a gem!

accommodating staffsuper clean roomamazing burgercomforting atmosphere
I found the staff accommodating and one young man even carried my bag up to the room, i really appreciated that. the room was fine and spotlessly clean it seemed like they had thought of everything. i enjoyed tea and a hot shower before treating myself to an amazing burger and a pint downstairs. the decor created a comforting atmosphere. It was well done!
