a GREAT stay

Kevin allowed me to park the car in his drive. This was a HUGE help. Breakfast included great choices and was freshly prepared. I appreciated having that option so early.
the location requires careful planning due to its proximity to the low emission zone. parking was a concern. There is no dedicated car park, just street parking.

Excellent hospitality!
amazing hostsdetailed mapwonderful breakfast
Kevin and Susan were AMAZING hosts. They explained how to get around and made notes on a map for tours. They cooked a wonderful breakfast AND packed one for my early flight. The hotel itself is charming. Every detail is considered.
I have to say, the location is near the Low Emission Zone, which will come into force soon.

Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues
room cleanlinesson-site parking
I encountered a couple of issues . The room cleanliness was not up to par. I spotted a hair clip and some threads on the floor. It seemed the room hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. while the location is near public transport, the lack of on-site parking created a challenge. I had to park several streets away, inconvenient.
