8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
Friendly reception. Good breakfast in a pleasant room. Parking.
Smell of damp by the door of Room 3, and, surprisingly, likewise on my bags when I got home.

The Hosts are lovely and the location very central. The room was well decorated and lovely and clean with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb with locally sourced ingredients for a Full English and the homemade bread is to die for.

The breakfast was excellent. Tho location of the property was really good with regular transport not to far for people to walk to.
The bathroom was ok for me but had I gave been travelling with my husband it would have been to smal. However I do realise the room had been converted to maximise the inclusion of an en-suite
6 / 10Average·Aug 2026
Very nice area , parking available 3 mins walk to all amenities Breakfast was nice with plenty of options given
Room 3 is too small for a Double bed and kept catching the corner of the bed everytime I went round it bruises on my foot and shin .Theres a mirror thats no good to anyone in the corner too dark no room to stand in front of I had to leave my clothes in my suitcase. Not enough hanging space and what hanging space there was I had to repair as for the shower room sink too small toilet small when sat on toilet your knees touch the wall the shower head needs to be replaced due to more water running down piping then shower head the cover for the vent fell off hit me on head.The shower door not fitted right.Unfolded a small towel and white talc / powder fell from it even after the daily visits in to the room with his lubricant spray which was left in the room by the owner they visit your room daily supposedly to check you haven't got your mobile phone on charge and request you dont charge your phone on the night time .on my last day I over heard Darren telling other guests that there were in one of the best rooms as room (3) three was their cheapest so lacked alot of benefits . I left that hotel feeling very disappointed and disgusted
