excellent communication free parking steep stairs uncomfortable bed
The host provided excellent communication. The hotel included everything a guest could need. The hotel was equipped with a kitchen that supplied fresh bread, cereals, tea, and coffee. Free parking was available too.
The stairs to my room were steep. The room was advertised as beautiful, but it was far from it. The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom reeked of sewerage.

river views and historic charm

free upgrade cereal range relaxing stay
the hostess, diana, provided a free room upgrade to a bigger room. the self-catering kitchen included a good range of cereals , breads, milk, butter, and jams. hot drinks were also available .
the stairs to the room were steep and narrow. the room faced the road and not the river , so the advertised views were not visible.

Comfortable Stay with River Views

clean room main sites on-site parking
The room was clean and tidy. The location next to main sites worked well. On-site parking was useful.
The stairs to the room were very steep. The room was not as luxurious as advertised. The bathroom had an unpleasant odor.
