the location was convenient. a fish and chip shop was very close. supermarkets are only a short walk away. my room and bed were simple but very clean.

my room was very basic. it was on the upper floors, so i had to walk two flights of stairs. the room was also rather small.

The hotel's location allowed easy access with ample street parking available. Our family room suited our needs perfectly as it had three beds. A double bed was present along with a single foldaway. another single bed was located in a separate area.

The carpet had many crumbs.
