Our stay was great the staff were very friendly and accommodating even helped with allowing an extra guest for a night. The neighbours can be a bit loud with there music but this is to be expected being by student accommodation and coming down at the start of o week but they would settle down by the start of noise control cerfew which was great but tolerated will definitely stay again when next down

Ensured we had locked our doors as an empty bottle of alcohol and cigarette butts outside room we were on 2nd level & being non smokers & drinker was a bit eerie. Service facilities excellent. Safe area was a blessing and hosts and staff very accommodating.

Awesome service and room, would happily stay here again. It's proximity to student accommodation might lead to some noisy streets, but nothing that kept me awake.

Lovely folk. Appreciated the welcoming text prior to arrival. Room was all one could need and very clean! Not a frequent user, so it could have helped to have had the fridge switched on - or told it was off. No I didn't notice for a day and a bit. Liked that they gave an eco responsible option for towels/waste bags etc
