    Very loud arguments at 4am didn't help this review. Someone was smoking in the toilets and set the fire alarm off around that time too. I couldn't help but remember there was a cheaper place not too far away that had a private shower.

    The staff were helpful in finding my way around. The bed was comfortable and the TV and WiFi worked fine. The fridge outside the room in the corridor was handy for getting extra milk for tea and coffee. I liked the fact there were ear plugs provided.

    There wasn't much that I didn't like, we weren't there all the time but when we were there wasn't anything bad to comment on.

    As it was the first time staying in a BnB, I domt really know what I was expecting, but the rooms were very nice. Changing our rooms to one further away from the karaoke night was a nice gesture and it was highly appreciated.

    Nothing really - the place needs some general TLC / maintenance inc decor etc but wouldn’t hold that against them for the price and in view of current economic times..it was it is and their doing a decent job.

    Everything was fine and met my needs - the staff were friendly and helpful - the location was convenient and price was good

    although it was a single room it was really small There was not a lot of room next to the bed to move about and the bedding was really clean but the overpowering smell of fabric softener was a bit to much

    The bedding was very clean

    Saturday night the pub closes at 1am, and only then does the noise die down. A light over the mirror would be nice.

    It's a room over a pub, with a shared bathroom. Good value for money. Great central location (alas the railway station is not in the center).

    Needs a little more attention.

    Adequate for a couple of nights, but I think it's more suited for long distance workmen. Self contained and clean. Very tired and appears to have been cobbled together. Clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet considering it's above a pub!

    Although the bedding and towels were clean and made the room smell nice the stained and grubby carpet/ rug were unpleasant. The furniture, curtains and lamp had seen better days.
