The room had all the amenities I needed. The location was near the center of town. I found it convenient. The staff member was friendly and provided helpful advice on local restaurants.
The water in the shower was only lukewarm. I found this very disappointing. The noise from the nearby roundabout continued until late. This affected my sleep. The bed could have been more comfortable.

Convenient Stay Near the City Center
spacious roomfriendly staffonsite parkingsafe luggage
The room was spacious and clean staff members were very friendly and cute I managed to park onsite without a guaranteed spot which was convenient The location allowed a short walk into town. The room was warm with a comfortable bed. I found everything needed for my brief visit including tea, coffee and a kettle The owner suggested local places to eat which I thought was helpful My luggage was kept safe on my departure day I appreciated that. The accommodation is located between the town and the university which proved ideal The owner was very kind and understanding I overslept, and she reassured me not to worry. The value for money was really good the railway station was nearby and the city center was easily accessible.
The shower's water temperature was not hot this aspect was disappointing I found it affected the overall experience.
