super central location!

bright room quiet location helpful staff good wi-fi
The rooms are at the back of the pub on the first floor. It was quiet! white painted walls and a set of windows make the unit fresh and bright. i found the staff to be very helpful too. all the facilities i needed were there, good wi-fi, tea, biscuits, toiletries and towels!
the communal bathroom was a bit rough around the edges, with some slightly broken elements but everything was clean and working!

not the best nights sleep

thin walls sleep impossible
the walls are so thin it was like i was in a dorm. every footstep and conversation echoed right into my room. this made it impossible to get a decent sleep. it was frustrating, and i'm not sure why i even bothered trying to sleep there.
