a great place to stay while exploring

legendary pub comfortable beds limited parking good food

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.

Dining

9/10

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 hotel provided on-site parking, a great benefit. it removed the stress of looking for a space nearby. the 24/7 laundry was also helpful. I could wash clothes whenever needed.

gravel driveway uncomfortable feeling

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.

My pillows WERE hard. The furniture in both rooms was cheap. The bedside tables were flimsy and falling apart.
