It was great and fantastic value. Only comment is that my room (7) was cold, but maybe I should have checked the radiator settings! I'll definitely stay again.

Not bad

Not a bad hotel but a shame breakfast was accompanied by the pinging of the microwave and that the ‘pastries’ were some pretty uninspiring cheap looking croissants. I appreciate we stayed there on Boxing Day but I’d still expect slightly better breakfast.

One night stay

Excellent location. Parking available £5 per night. Did not go to breakfast which was 7am till 9am (bit early for us) check out was 11am. Friendly host. Comfy bed, warm room. Only down side you could hear the road traffic but that is probably because of the windows and being a period property and double glazed would not go with the look.

Parking Confusing

The stay was fine. The parking was confusing. I pre-paid £5 but parked in the NCP (saying so when I arrived). I have just had a fine from NCP for £40. I now see this is not part of the Zone 10 street parking. The guest house should make this very clear on arrival when they accept payment.
