Clean And Well Serviced
The B&B building itself has a pleasant ambiance. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean, well maintained, and rooms on the upper floors have pleasing views. The beds are comfy, no bad mattresses with springs intruding on your body and the bathrooms are pristine. The rooms are cleaned spotless every day.

Breakfast To Order
If there is such a thing, this B&B makes it to the five-star category, simply because of their cooking! A delicious home cooked breakfast awaits you each morning. There is plenty of choice and the facility also caters to special needs. For example, if you require gluten free food, it's no problem. They are pleased to add gluten free dairy products, biscuits, and sausages to your full English breakfast! You will be served little treats too like peanut butter cookies set nicely in the hallway and home made banana cake

The Location Is Filled With Charm
The B&B location is lovely. It's within ten minutes by foot to the railway station, which makes it easy for you to get around. A stroll through the museum gardens is enchanting. The city is full of charm.

Leave Your Shoes
You are not allowed to wear your shoes upstairs, so be prepared and bring a pair of house slippers if prefer not to walk around barefoot or in your socks.

Bothersome But Manageable
There is one, or perhaps more, rooms without an en suite bathroom, which means you have to travel across the hall and down a few steps to get to it. This can be annoying, but manageable.
negative:
A Little Spotty
The Wi-Fi is a bit in-and-out; however, this is a problem with most facilities.
