fruit breakfast wholesome breakfast friendly host
I found the breakfast quite wholesome. I enjoyed fruit, yogurt, and granola with juice. Tea and coffee were also available. A full English breakfast was made to order. The host chatted with us.
Street location means some traffic noise. I used earplugs.

Really good Value and Friendly Service

easy location tasty breakfast friendly atmosphere lovely host
The location allowed an easy walk to the city centre. Breakfast offered a good selection of bread and a very tasty cooked meal. The dining room had a very friendly atmosphere. The host was super lovely and has amazing plans for the place.
There was some traffic noise from the street, so a room at the back of the building may have been quieter.

The room had a nice TV. it also had tea and coffee making facilities.
The stairs were narrow. I struggled with my luggage. The shower had an instant electric water heater. It was impossible to regulate the temperature. The check out time was too early.
