lovely stay near the river
great location easy check
The location was great! the attractions were within walking distance and easy to access. the rooms were clean. they had everything i needed. check in was easy. Staff were very pleasant and helpful!
the doors accessing our room did not securely close! although we were able to lock the room door once inside, i feel this is worth mentioning.

excellent location friendly staff good breakfast variety external stairs non working tv excessive noise
the location was excellent for exploring the area. friendly staff made check-in simple. the included breakfast had a good variety of options to choose from.
access to my room required climbing some external stairs. the tv in my room did not work during my entire stay. i also found the noise levels from the pub below disruptive on several nights.
