The rooms were very modern, spacious and relaxing. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. There was an ease being here, nothing to complicated. Which is what you want after a hectic day. The area was also peaceful and quiet and if you wanted to go the the city centre only a 10 minute walk. Breakfast was classic continental, some people would want cooked breakfast, however I was happy to have yogurt, fruit, cereal, toast and morning bakery goods. The only improvement i say is maybe the t.v's need updating, to chromecast. Excellent accommodation that felt like home, without no hassle.

It was all so simple, the code was sent through via email for the lock box which contained a fob to get in the main door and key for the bedroom door. Claire was very helpful when we arrived. The rooms are lovely and spacious, comfy bed too! Breakfast was a continental spread and lovely start to the morning, the staff member was very courteous and friendly. All in all a good stay - thank you Bat & ball Xx

We stopped here for a Spitfires game for our young fella and to be honest wasn’t expecting much - but we were incredibly pleasantly surprised!! This place is exceptional, easy to find, easy to access and staff instructions were friendly and easy to follow. This is a great stay!

This was a beautiful place and the staff were very helpful! I had trouble navigating the narrow stairs, but Jordan was kind to help us into a lower level accommodation. The breakfast with fresh berries was perfect!
