+ There was a separate cafe and a bar downstairs, so it was easy to grab something to eat or drink if guests wished to do so. It was also quite central, so within walking distance of the centre. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed and there was a free car park round the back, but with it also being a pub it was quite full

- It was a bit dated, and there were TVs on the wall but a note that they hadn’t yet been installed. The electronics label on it showed it being quite a few years old, so I don’t think they’d been newly put there. The walls were pretty thin and I could hear the room next door talking all evening. Can’t complain for the price though, it was cheap and cheerful!

+ Proche du centre

- Plus de savon dans le distributeur de la douche, la cuisine, le salon et la salle à manger non chauffés, un eclairage miserable dans la salle à manger et une isolation phonique inexistante : quand le voisin prend sa douche à 6h30 du matin, c'est comme ai vous y etiez....
