“The administrator's promptness and the surprisingly well-maintained rooms stand out, a refreshing find for budget-conscious trips; though some areas show wear, the essentials are covered, including in-room tea and coffee. For a quick overnight stay where sleep is the priority, it ticks the boxes. In my opinion, this place offers real, practical value.”

adequate lodging

spacious roomamazing showergood location
the room had a fridge a microwave and a hot plate it was very spacious i never felt squeezed in there was a good sized table with four chairs a wardrobe and a chest of drawers. The shower was amazing it gave great value for money. The location was good with pubs and places to eat just a short walk over the bridge.
the entrance goes through the back of a bar it had the typical stale deep fat fryer smell i didn't like that.
