the room was very quiet and clean the bed was comfortable blackout curtains ensured a good night's sleep. all staff were cute and friendly the location is excellent. a supermarket is a short walk away to get anything you need. the room had a kitchen with an electric hob microwave oven and dishwasher.
there was a little bit of mould on windows it was not a major issue but worth noting for an older building

minor issues impacted the stay

tiny bedside tablesaccessible room
The room i booked supposedly had a small sitting room area and kitchenette, however, my room just had a small kitchen at the end of the bed. the bedside tables were tiny. i was placed in an accessible room. I didn't request this and it felt awkward. there was no mirror above the sink.
