One of the best places I have stayed and it is close to the town centre as well within walkable distance with easy accessibility to all shops and restaurants. The room particularly was clean and warm with all amenities needed to cook. There was Alps a pound which was even comfortable to dine and watch television. Overall I am very much happy with the room and place. I would highly recommend this.Thank you very much.

Really nice sized room, nice bathroom and comfy beds. Our host was lovely and really helpful. Very close to centre and good bars and restaurants. Only downside is ceiling is quite thin and we had some very noisy neighbours upstairs! Overall a lovely stay and would definitely stay again.

This stay was fine, in terms of location it was nice and quiet and a lovely walk into town. Cleanliness left some to be desired but it was mostly fine and we enjoyed our stay.
