charming college stay

bright roomclean roomgreat balconyon-site parking
i had a lovely bright room it was also very clean and i liked the great balcony. the location was super close to the centre that was perfect for exploring. the breakfast in the hall was fun and quite unique.
the lack of parking was a very big minus i wish there was some on-site parking available. it made arrival a bit stressful as i had to find a nearby car park. i think it would benefit guests to have dedicated parking spots
