    Simple but practical accommodation in the city centre. Breakfast was delicious. The communal kitchen was well equipped and guests could cook their own meals after breakfast. The room was comfortable and spacious. The shared bathroom was very close...

    Amazing new wing w mini kitchenette . So quiet except for the amazing chimes from the crazy-shaped church , floating through the window. Good facilities, 3 min walk to the church & 5mins downhill to everything else. I would def stay again.
