The decoration of the room and the guesthouse overall. The room had too many things in it. It was big, but because of this, too crowded with stuff.
The room was clean. The breakfast was excellent. The location is great. Area is very calm and safe.

“Dissapointed at THEFT of £200 cash from locked room....would not return or recommend to ANYBODY”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • En-Suite Luxury Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Safe in room was not opened despite request. I left my wallet in zipped bag in a cupboard and locked my door. Some time either on the first day or 2nd day ( I was in bed most off 2nd day ) someone entered my room found my wallet, took various english currency to the value of £200 ( obviously hoping it would not be noticed ) and replaced it. Somehow at check out this became my fault???? and all my responsibility, nothing to do with them despite them employing a thief or not having security cameras to see who went into the room. If the safe was useable, what is to say the same could not still have happened.
Location was fine , off street parking

First we had a room with a huge balcony but no curtains. The balcony was nice for our little one but we had a lack of sleep because it was so bright in the room. Luckily we could change room and than slept awsome.
Location is very good, everything on walking distance. Breackfast was really nice. The staff is also super kind and helpful
