Property was dated in terms of the decor (1970/1980s) but rooms had been kept in really good condition and well maintained which made the decor somewhat appealing for someone who can remember this era. Lovely place to stay and convenient to the city or walks on paths alongside the river. Would recommend and would stay here again

Arrived after 7pm to find all the windows still open and cold. The heater in the room is very small and took a whole to heat up the size of the 1 bedroom room.
