A pleasant stay with a furry friend

friendly staffhelpful landladyparking discmissing window
The staff was very friendly from the start. The landlady even helped take my dog upstairs while I carried two bags. They explained the parking disc situation, provided a disc, and detailed how to use it effectively. The room included towels, toiletries, a kettle, drinks, and a mini fridge.
The room lacked a proper window. Instead, it had a high window facing the corridor, with lights on all night.

Free parking was available right out front, facilitated by a disc provided by the hotel. Costa Coffee is nearby, easily accessible by foot for breakfast. CCTV operated over the parking places, a security measure.

The tavern downstairs served an excellent Sunday roast. I found the home cooked food delicious, with substantial portions available. The tavern is very dog friendly (it even has a dog sausage button on its till!).

Central Stay with Tasty Food!

I found the location very convenient, it's near many shops and restaurants. The chef actually stayed late to serve food because I arrived as they were about to stop serving. I also appreciated the coffee, tea, and snacks provided in the room..
The room was quite basic. I think a small update could improve it a bit.
