Wonderful Location Near Abbey Steps!

perfect location excellent communication welcome pack
The location was perfect. It was right at the bottom of the abbey steps. Communication with the owners was excellent before and . The hotel had everything we needed. We appreciated the tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits provided.
I noticed a lot of foot traffic noise from the apartment above us. Every step could be heard, as the first floor apartment is directly above our room. It was ok, but I wish I had known.
Location
10/10
The hotel is situated in a charming area with easy access to the abbey steps. Cafes, shops, and bars are all within a short walking distance. The location also provides amazing views of the town.

convenient location clear instructions spacious bathroom thoughtful toiletries
The location proved convenient. Close to attractions. Clear instructions from the host made check-in and check-out very simple. The bathroom was very spacious. Toiletries were thoughtfully provided. I would stay again.
The stairs to the upper floors WERE very narrow, which might present a challenge for some guests with heavy luggage.
