Great short break location

Our 2 night stay in William was just what we needed...an extremely comfy bed, constant hot water and a great location. ..river, castle and shops all within easy walking distance. The door code check-in was very convenient and gave flexibility and accessibility at all times.

This was an unusual property - there is no front desk or people there to check you in. It’s also an inconvenient walk from the town center, crossing busy streets.

Very easy check in, property is on a main road opposite a large co op food store and within easy walking distance to the castle and high street. Stayed in Victoria which is a very large room, very clean and comfortable, large fridge which was useful and all the amenities needed for a stay. Quiet within the property. Good value for the area and would stay again. Host was prompt to answer queries and friendly.

To much can go wrong.

With no onsite reception everything is more complicated. You need to receive email with codes to enter. But I received a mail saying I hadn't paid when hotel.com had charged my credit card. 2 days of worries and chats back and forth. Then there was no hot water for two of the 3 nights we were there more worries. They offered a late check out as compensation. Without all that it would be a fine place. Nothing fancy.

Wish I stayed longer!! The hosts were lovely and easy to communicate with and made the check in process so simple. Overall it was such an adorable accommodation, it was close to everything, there was lots of natural light, had a fan, and the bed was so so comfortable! Felt like I was at home. Would definitely book again!

One night stay.

Hotel has good location. Room (Victoria, on first floor) was large and clean. Easy access into room using keypad. Owner was helpful with issue booking through hotels.com. Allowed us an early check in, which was appreciated. We did have an issue where we were woken up around midnight with the lights flickering on and off, a smell of electrical wires burning and a sound of electric arcing. This went on until about 2 am and then stopped. We were worried the rest of the night there may be a fire, so didnt sleep soundly. When we got up the next morning, we had no power in any outlets, the tv or kettle. We did send a message to the owners to advise and have not heard back. Overall stay was ok.
