The games room had a pool table, air hockey, and bar football. It was really a great space for relaxation. The location was very convenient. Shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance.

I booked accommodation with on-site parking. This venue advertises on-site parking. this IS incorrect. The parking is actually on the street. The radiator in the bedroom was not working so the room was a bit cold at night.

Excellent Stay with Fantastic Amenities

The communal games room had a pool table, an air hockey table, and even a Pac-Man arcade machine. We found hours of entertainment in this space. The availability of free games like Subbuteo and board games added to the fun (I really enjoyed playing pool!). The bed was large and super comfortable. The room was clean and well kept.

The street parking situation could be a bit tricky, especially on a busy evening.
