to get started.

I liked the more personal feel to this stay, it was a nice experience. Staff was friendly, full English breakfast, and my room looked amazing! Probably my favorite room out of the places I stayed in during my trip. I would stay here again. It's also down a more residential street and a short walk into the city center.

An honest review will have a negative point somewhere. The only comment I can make, is that this property may not be suitable for a person with physical disabilities because of the stairs. This isn’t a reflection of the owner, or how the business operates, rather just the age of the building itself.
Melissa, the host, was the perfect example of what a host should be. Absolutely approachable in every sense of the word. The property was immaculate, from front door, to the shower tray. The property was a converted 3/4 story house, and very eloquently dressed and decorated. Lighting was low and calming throughout. The room (3), was ample for one person. It contained two large single beds, with very clean bedding, and two pillows per bed. The TV was Freeview, and worked as expected. The bed was extremely bouncy! The mattress sat on a lattice spring frame, as opposed to the conventional devan wooden box. The shower i did not use, but all provisions for shower were there, including miniature bottles, and clean towels. The toilet, and sink were also extremely clean. Tea, and coffee facilities were also provided in the room. Breakfast was very nice! I’m used to a full Scottish breakfast, so having a smaller English breakfast just filled the wee hole. Extremely good quality. The bacon was super thick, as were the sausages, and perfectly cooked eggs. Fresh orange (without bits) was provided, as was fresh filter coffee. Crockery was really in keeping with the property by design. The breakfast lounge/room was absolutely beautiful! Dark, royal blue walls, with really stunning paintings, and local historic pictures. The seating, and tables were extremely comfortable. Parking is available with a bit of searching on streets nearby. Overall, the property is really excellent. The host, Melissa id highly recommend.

It’s an very old building so there is no lift and the walls are really thin. As expected in this kind of historical building.
The host Melissa and other staffs are very friendly and caring. The breakfast is wonderful, all very fresh ingredients in generous portions. The room is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast room is very beautiful and nicely decorated with some vintage goodies, with a very British country touch.

Issues that can't be helped, such as being able to clearly hear the next room (talking and tv noises), and the size of the en suite. This didn't affect my opinion of the stay however!
The bedroom and en suite were immaculate, the heating worked well and everything was clean and tidy. I loved the tea and milk waiting for us in the room, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious!

It’s not so much I didn’t like the hotel, this could very easily be made into a little goldmine if you were able to make a few little changes. I just felt the hotel could of done with a little decorating in some areas. The mattress was very hard I prefer a softer mattress ( but I guess you can’t please everyone in this area) The shower could do with being a little more powerful.
The host was really lovely and very welcoming and did a super breakfast. The room was clean and there was tea and coffee in the room. I don’t want the (what you didn’t like ) section to be unkind after all what does one expect when you pay such a low price. Thank you for a lovely stay!

I'm honestly reaching here but the bed was slightly firm and the bathroom was slightly small.
Melissa was great! Really friendly, chatty and full of useful information. Breakfast had good options and was cooked fresh. There are shops nearby and what seems like a good range of pubs. The raj Indian is an easy walk and was great
