The room have good facilities with tea and coffee. The host was friendly and helpfull. I liked the location. The area is pleasant.
The front door seemed difficult to locate and the lights were off when I arrived. There was no staff on site so it felt a little off putting. This bothered me.

excellent stay in a victorian house

powerful showerconvenient parkinghigh mirror
the room was large and comfortable with a powerful shower. the location was convenient to nearby amenities. i found convenient street parking. communication with the owner was clear and efficient prior to my arrival.
The bathroom mirror was positioned quite high. at my height, i could only see my eyebrows. the height made using it somewhat difficult. It would be more convenient if it were lower.
Location

this is a room only setup, so there are no meals provided on-site. the description accurately reflects this arrangement. however, many dining options are available within walking distance in the town centre.
