    A beautiful period, boutique hotel with original wooden beams and steeped in history. Priya on reception was so friendly and helpful, made us feel welcome. The hotel was clean, well presented with good amenities inside the room. Wifi worked well and though the hotel was busy for graduation week, the place was quiet. The bar is brilliant for showing the older features. Highly recommended!

    The house is in a great location, set back 200m from the main high street area down a quiet residential cobbled street which makes it great for getting around and going out for drinks etc. There is a large spacious lounge in the basement with lots of comfy sofas and plenty of space. The house has character, good heating and plenty of hot water. It really wins for central location, and the top floor rooms have nice views out over the rooftops.

    Fabulous house just minutes away from the Castle Park, local shops and city centre attractions. Quiet street. Comfortable beds, lots of bathrooms, good hot water, brilliant central heating. Huge well-equipped kitchen, great to have the big table to sit around. Super lounge space in the basement. Everything was wonderful. Fast responses when I had a couple of questions.

    Great location, central but quiet, a 5 minute walk to the town centre. No on-street parking but very cheap long-stay car park in walking distance. Justine and Mounir are super friendly hosts and we loved having a chat. It was nice to meet Captain the parrot, too! You can see the TLC they put into their house, it's very small but very cute. It was nice to have Netflix in our room on a nice large TV to relax after a busy day!
