Liked: Cleanliness
Room was quiet. Mattresses on beds were uncomfortable - i woke multiple times with numb legs/hips. Food was ok but dinner was not homemade (I appreciate it was quiet and perhaps not economically viable). Breakfast was fine and a packed lunch was provided at an extra cost, which we were pleased with.

Value for money in lovely old building
We had a room for 2 which was small as you’d expect but with comfy bunk beds, thick duvets and it was nice and warm on a cool evening. Powerful shower off our room plus shared toilet nearby in the corridor. All very clean. Breakfast was tasty. Friendly staff. Nice pub directly across the road. Enjoyed our stay.
