    More booking.com's fault: was listed as a B&B but it's a B&noB. Gorgeous four poster bed but it creaked like hell, I guess there's not much that can be done about that though.

    Gorgeous room, easy-going and friendly landlord, great location for both railway stations. It was quiet too!

    Small gripe but nowhere to put any toiletries/makeup in the bedroom, bathroom or shower.

    Great location for walking to the centre of town, & close to the Brewery Square area of shops , bars & restaurants. Added bonus of parking as well.

    Guess, I just stayed overnight rather than days.

    I had an overnight stay (weekend). The location is ideal. It's in the town centre wherein accessible to restaurants, shops, cinema, pubs, gym, etc.😀. The room is superb and spacious. I love the bed and furnitures. The toilet is clean with toiletries. They have menu available if you need food. Free WiFi and has cable TV. And most of all the owner(?) is very welcoming and accommodating.

    The type of bedding was unexpected and not the conventional crisp white linen! Perhaps a selection of teas would improve the hospitality tray.

    Lovely firm mattress, room temperature easily adjusted, building nice and quiet during the night

    Breakfast would have been nice, but it wasn’t advertised so I can hardly complain, especially for the price. Maybe the complementary biscuits could have been nicer? Water pressure in the shower could have been a bit higher, I guess? I’m really reaching here.

    Huge room in gorgeous, luxuriant historic building. Extremely characterful, with what appeared to be genuine antique furniture and paintings. Felt a little like staying in a stately home, yet cost less than many nights I’ve spent at downmarket chain hotels. My room was on a corner with an impressive panoramic outlook. The host was very friendly and seemed genuinely pleased to see me even with a quiet let check-in. He gave useful guidance on local restaurants.

    Musty smell in entrance plus same with towels. Period four poster bed was novel but did squeak a lot.

    Great central location. Good breakfast in cafe opposite (as explained to us beforehand). Large room with bath (as requested). Local restaurants very good - especially the Thai restaurant opposite.
