“I found the town centre location quite convenient for exploring, and the straightforward, unfussy approach to accommodation was appreciated, especially when they accommodated a vegan breakfast without it being on the menu. The staff's genuine helpfulness extended to local recommendations and a noteworthy commitment to dietary needs, like sourcing gluten-free beer for a guest, which speaks volumes about their attentiveness to individual requirements.”
