Beautiful and wonderfully quirky

One of my favourite hotels to stay in. Very homely, the beds are incredibly comfy and the whole hotel is beautifully decorated and I love how quirky it is. Love the games/bar area and self service kitchen. The owners always friendly and accommodating. Look forward to staying again.

Fantastic place to stay with super hosts

Our host, Mubi, was fantastic and she couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. She showed us to our room and gave us a tour of the spa. Fantastic place to stay and beautiful rooms.

Away for work

I always look for accommodation with on site parking. This venue says it has on site parking, but IT DOES NOT. The parking is on street parking and the street is a one way street. I got the only space in the street. This costs £6 for 24 hours. Lots of emails sent from vendor before booking giving the same information. The room I was in was great, good sized ensuite, room had table with chair and wifi was good. However the radiator in the bedroom was not on, so the room was cold at night. There is tea, coffee and sugar in room but no milk. There is a full kitchen downstairs with fridges. There were lots of different venues to eat out in evening within a 10 minute walk.

What amazing facilities. The communal area had a table tennis table, table football, pool table, air hockey, electronic game, large screen TV, seating area and access to a full kitchen. So much more than a room to stay in. Everyone was friendly and I will be staying again.
