decent stay near the quay
quayside proximity fabulous shower helpful information micro fibre cloth bird poo church refurbishment
the location was really close to the quayside (walking distance!). i found the shower fabulous and the room was very clean. jenny helped me with information about parking and generally about the area in the guest information book.
i noticed the towels were like drying myself with a micro fibre cloth. all windows were covered in bird poo. the refurbishment of the church building opposite created noise, starting at 8am on friday morning.

dog barking thin towels
The location was quite centralwith its drawbacks. I did expect some noise because of the location. The relentless barking of dogs across the street really tested my patience. Those sounds echoed right into the room. The towels felt thin. It was similar to drying off with a microfibre cloth. Finally, the windows had quite a lot of bird droppings on them. I found that off-putting.

Excellent location and service!
walking distance super clean room parking information
Location was a plus for my travel. I walked to the festival with ease from this place. Jenny gave needed information about parking, so I felt prepared. My room was super clean and very comfortable for the stay.
Towels felt very thin like a microfiber cloth. I wish they were more absorbent.
