surprisingly good value

local shops helpful owner tranquil space simple breakfast
the location worked well for accessing local shops! the complimentary breakfast, though simple, provided a decent start to the day. the owner was indeed helpful, addressing any questions i had. the garden offered a tranquil space for enjoying a morning coffee.
The room did show some signs of wear and tear, such as peeling wallpaper. It wasn't too distracting but noticeable.

the hotel benefits from being close to many shops and restaurants! the high street is easily accessible, and i found several options for dining within a short walking distance, convenient. public transport links are also nearby.
