Excellent location and friendly hosts. They noticed my partner had their leg in a cast/boot and switched us to a ground floor room. It had everything we needed for our getaway, including a fan and heater so we could get the room exactly how we liked it! Only thing to note was the TV didn't work in the room (or at least, we couldn't get it to work!). Very comfy bed and sofa. Highly recommend this hotel, excellent value for money.

Easy comms with the host. Location super convenient. Room clean (some wear & tear to be expected) Was able to purchase parking permit with ease through host. Enjoyed some time in the adjoining pub also run by property host who were very attentive and helpful.

Nice room but bathroom flooded in morning

Although No.7 is potentially a lovely room (nice touches as well like choclates on pillows) my one night stay turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. was woken up in the middle of the night by loud gurgeling noises. it had rained heavily and as No.7 is lower ground floor the drains were overfowing and into my shower cubicle and half of the bathroom floor! I called the owner in the morning who said he could fix it in 5 min. and I could have a shower. I am not a plumber but can say that overflowing drains cannot be fixed in 5 min. esp. as it kept raining heavily. I turned to hotels.com back home but got hardly any support. They asked the owner if he will refund my stay and guess what: he said "no". what a surprise. one should be able to expect a bit more from an organisation like hotels.com. they just can't be bothered. sorry: overflowing drians - god only knows what swam in that water - are a health and safety issue. Hotels.com should take this seriously

We were in a basement superior twin. It was an excellent sized room, with 2 double beds & the shower was lovely. Just bare in mind you're nextdoor to a pub, so there is noise. Best thing is, can't beat them, join them!! You're within walking distance to everything! So once you've found a parking place, just forget about it & walk everywhere. Parking is on street with a pass you pay £10 for, which covers you for 24hrs. Overall a good stay & would stay again!
