Although the room was small, it was clean, extremely well maintained, traditional yet still modern and very comfortable. Some noise from the pub downstairs in the evenings but generally quiet from around 11pm. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Very clean and comfortable bed, nice bathroom, we were in the dorma room and thought it would be very stuffy and cramped because we had such hot weather that day but it was lovely and cool I'd say it was well insulated.
