the location was close to the town centre. i found the decor to be kooky and fun. the room was nice and cosy and i enjoyed the overall stay (it was quite relaxing).

the bacon was overcooked at breakfast. the sink in the bathroom was too small and had a poor design. narrow winding stairs made getting up and down difficult, especially with suitcases.

The breakfast bacon was overcooked. The bathroom sink was small with a poor design. It flooded the floor during washing. Narrow winding stairs were difficult to navigate with luggage.
