We offer a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere and go out of our way to ensure a fabulous guest experience. The rooms and beds are comfortable and all are en-suite. We offer great value for money. We do have a small sun-trap terrace which guests are welcome to use, and pride ourselves on our cleanliness with all our guests benefiting from a daily housekeeping service at no extra charge. Guests really rate our Full English breakfasts. We are very flexible - just let us know if you'd like any breakfasts and they can be added on an ad-hoc basis if you booked room only. Special occasion whilst you are here? Give us a call before your visit and we can arrange for flowers etc. to be put into rooms ready for your arrival. If you have any specific requirements or preferences - please let us know when you book or give us a call before your visit. We are a non-smoking establishment and do not offer licensed facilities as there are lots of fantastic bars and pubs within walking distance.
