Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's attractive and unusual decor, as well as its location, which is convenient to the town and the University. The outdoor patio is a popular spot, and the provision of fresh milk, complimentary sweets, and even a travel pack with water and flapjacks upon departure leaves a positive impression. While some guests have noted that some rooms can be extremely small, the excellent breakfast - especially the "Egg Royal" - and the two-for-one drink coupon upon arrival are frequently mentioned as highlights.

Quirky Charm and Great Breakfasts

lovely decor tea facilities complimentary water
I thought the decor was lovely. My room had plenty of coffee and tea facilities. Departure included complimentary water and biscuits. The breakfasts were AMAZING!!! They had a good range of choices. I really liked that touch.
The room could have used more clothes storage. It only had a few hangers. Rearranging the furniture took time. I would have liked more space for my belongings.
