    Comfortable twin room, great for the price. Hot chocolate sachets, tea bags, water and biscuits were a very welcome surprise. Didn't stay long, just overnighted but great value and we slept well.

    Super friendly owner / landlady, came for a chat and to check the heating was working in the room. Easy check in and check out. The little fridge was useful as well.
