Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Had a one night stay, I called ahead as we had some queries and one of the hosts name Roy was very informative and happy to help, we stayed in one of the queen rooms on the ground floor room 8. Was very clean and comfortable. The only thing we found was the toilet flush effects the shower temp, the shower itself was very good. Don't know about breakfast as we didn't have any but it is available. 10/10 would highly recommend and will most definitely revisit.

Lovely guest house, uncomfy bed.
Well located for the City Centre, especially if you're there Sat/Sun and there is free street parking around. Check in instructions and communication from the owner was excellent. The rooms are immaculately clean as well. Only fault, and sadly it's a pretty big one was that the bed was awful. The metal frame was creaky, so anytime you turn in the night it creaks. The mattress as well was really uncomfortable, hard and not pleasant at all. Didn't have a great sleep and woke up with a sore back.

A bit tired but was clean and met our needs for an overnight stay. Little contact with staff but access was simple with keys for all doors to get in late at night.
