The location was IDEAL. The room was fantastic, and it included a fridge, which i found a bonus. Alisha, the owner, was friendly, helpful, and nothing was too much trouble (wow!).
On arrival, parking costs £10 per day. The bathroom was dirty. The toilet had brown stains. The floor was sticky, and the shower door does not close properly (uh oh!).

Fantastic Stay! Highly Recommend!

room fridgefriendly ownershelpful ownersconvenient location
The room included a fridge. What a great bonus! The owners, Alisha and her husband, were friendly and always greeted guests with a smile. They were also happy to chat and couldn't do enough to assist, if anything was needed! The location was also really convenient to attractions.
I found a very slight smell of air freshener, vanilla type! It may be too strong for some guests with sensitivities.
