The accommodation was clean and the bed was comfortable, although the property itself is a little tired and could benefit from some updating.
I stayed in 'William', which is quite small. Barbara kindly offered me a complimentary upgrade to a much larger room downstairs, but I chose to stay where I was as being able to sleep with the windows open is important to me.
The room was very warm, but fortunately I could open two windows and, as the property felt very secure with little access to the rear, I was perfectly comfortable leaving them open overnight. When the central heating came on in the morning, I simply turned the radiator off.
The shower had excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water, and having a kettle and fridge in the room was particularly useful.
Barbara was very responsive and quick to answer any questions, which I appreciated.
Parking was straightforward, with Alma Road car park less than a minute's walk away. At the time of my stay, parking was free between 9 pm and 9 am, and around £2.30 per hour at other times, payable via the RingGo app.
My only real reservation was the price. Having spent a lot of time travelling overseas, I often find UK accommodation expensive for what you get, so perhaps my expectations are a little different. Nevertheless, the room was clean, the bed comfortable, and I had everything I needed for my overnight stay.
