Cute and cosy

Our first time staying here and what a joy ! We got there about 6pm so had to wait for bar staff to be free to help us check in but once served the staff were great! Very helpful and great instruction. We stayed in Rosie's room, close to the stairs but the perfect room with a street view. Love the old original floors in the room! Decorated well and the mattress was super comfy! Shared bathrooms were clean and modern enough for me ! We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Such a bargain, great value for money !
