    Good hosting, attentive to the needs, location is brilliant-can take a bus just a few steps outside of the building or if your prefer to walk, walking to the City Centre attractions (we did many times). Good restaurants and pubs are within a mile radius and so is TESCO supermarket. More importantly, the rooms are spacious (this is our second time staying in five months), clean, modern and seems renovated not long ago.
