a great place to stay while exploring

I didn't spend much time in the room, exploring the area. a legendary pub was steps away! there was also good food available. i appreciated the limited parking, which i could take advantage of. The beds were comfortable.

the walls were quite thin, and that did affect my sleep a little. i could hear other guests, which wasn't ideal. it was a minor inconvenience, though.

many restaurants were close to the hotel, that was AMAZING!!! you don't have to walk far for a meal. the area provides several choices, from casual cafes to more formal dining options. i tried a local place with traditional food and i was very satisfied.

The location was acceptable for accessing nearby restaurants.

My room faced the gravel driveway. Rubbish outside the window. I requested another room politely but was told I was the first to complain in four years. The host seemed disappointed with my request.
