"The accommodation was clean and comfortable with a very welcome ceiling fan cooling the temperature. We were arriving late (then my flight was delayed further) and were asked to check in online before 11.00pm but this was complicated and wouldn't work for me. But all was well and there was someone on duty at reception to check us in. Helpful and friendly reception staff. Good location - easy walk into town/waterfront and plenty of buses nearby. Only negative was very limited cooking equipment and absence of cloths for wiping/cleaning. A kettle, cups/mugs and wiping cloths would have helped."

"The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, Room could be cleaner as there’s dust and fluff behind the bed headset and under the table. Room has a balcony but it is by a main road, so can be noisy with passing traffic, if windows left open for fresh air. Good location, only 15 minutes walk to the Medieval town.centre, where parking can be difficult. Unable to comment on restaurant or pool as we did not use the facilities. It was a positive experience on the whole."
