“The owners and staff here clearly put considerable thought into guest comfort, evident in the spotless, modern rooms and genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Finding a comfortable bed is often a gamble, but the emphasis on deeply comfortable bedding here is a distinct advantage. Its location, while a bus ride from the city centre, offers a quieter base with good transport links and the bonus of parking.”
