Very clean and tidy, the room we had was a bit small but the bathroom was big. I think they should remove the wardrobe doors, would be more convenient to move around since the bags can be placed inside the wardrobe.

An arty, quirky little hotel in a great location. The welcome was so warm and informative. The room was comfortable, clean with a good shower. The breakfast was good. There is a huge free car park a couple of minutes walk away. The hotel is located just a couple of minutes walk from the centre and 10 min walk to the train station. There was some building work next door but thos is totally out of the hotels control and the noise from it didn't impact on our sleep.
