The room was a Double Room. I found the pub downstairs to be lovely. It is in a really nice location. The staff members were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed a late breakfast upon arrival. It was delicious.

The curtains were not blackout curtains so this was problematic. I am sensitive to light so it caused a problem. The pillows were not the most comfortable. I thought the air con was a bit loud.

I found the bed very comfortable and quite large. the room included an iron with an ironing board. This was quite useful. a mini fridge stocked with water and milk was a great addition, and a nespresso machine plus a kettle were also available.
