Location fantastic. Lots of lovely pubs around for food and drink if you didn't want to go into city centre. Staff were lovely, fruendly and extremely helpful!History side of the guest house was very interesting too. Lots to learn about the place, which I liked. Wasn't too many rooms, so not overly busy when waiting for breakfast I the morning. Rooms were of good size with everything that you would need. Air con was a big plus for us menopausal women 😁
