Review by hotel critic
During our stay at this hotel, we found the value proposition to be quite mixed. the location was great, within walking distance to the town center and convenient for shopping at Tesco and Sainsbury's. the shower was excellent and the property was nicely furnished and clean, with comfortable beds ensuring a good night's sleep. However, the lack of assistance from the owners was a major downside. We struggled to locate the property and were left to figure out everything on our own, including finding the keys and door passwords. In terms of amenities, the hotel offered free Wi-Fi in rooms, which was a plus, but there were no tea and coffee facilities or sitting area in the room.
