Dear Anne, Thank you for your message. We are sorry for the microwave, it has now been replaced by a brand new one from today, so it shouldn't be an issue for your next stay We are glad you enjoyed our central location and the onsite laundry facilities (which can be a bonus while on the road ;)) We hope to have a chance to welcome you again soon

Last minute booking, for a one night stay. Booking was easy, the lady at check in was lovely and offered us a cheap upgrade. Room was great for the price, neat and tidy, amazing view. Great for a couple of couples, or a small family. Two bedrooms, induction hob, great setup. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
