Charmed by the Location!

central locationcomfy bed
The location across from the Cathedral Green impressed me. It was a short walk to attractions. The staff also were friendly and humorous. I liked being able to hear the cathedral bells on the hour. That was unique to this lodging. The bed and pillows were super comfy

relaxed atmospherespacious roomhelpful barmanfaulty heatingtemporary solutionreported issue
the pub had a relaxed atmosphere, i appreciate that. the barman, ty, earned my commendation for his service and beer knowledge. i found our room spacious and well-equipped, ensuring a restful night.
the heating in our room wasn't working, which i reported. a staff member tried fixing it, but ultimately provided a portable heater. while adequate, it wasn't ideal to rely on a temporary solution.
