Incredibly friendly staff and a great location in a fun town. Despite being located above a pub, the sound insulation must have been excellent because it was perfectly quiet in the evening and night. The rooms felt a little dated but were entirely clean and the bed was comfortable. Probably unfair to rate it a 4/5 when the price was so very reasonable. A 5 would only have been possible at something perhaps twice as pricey per night. Would gladly stay here again.
