9.0

The staff were friendly and very helpful when we were trying to park our rental car. The facilities were good. Used the tea/coffee making facilities and the iron and board in the room were a bonus. Great cafe across the road.

− Little more space in the bedroom would have been great. Overall, a great stay and will def stay again.

Gem in the city!

10.0

The staff at this place were amazing and accomodating! Due to an unexpected snow storm we were a day late to our accomodation, the staff were very accomodating in helping us change our booking free of charge. The accomodation was in a good location and very cute and cosy in an old building.
