Room 12 was ok, not too noisy for Saturday night. Floorboards creak all over the floor with the rooms.

Sorry to hear that noise disturbed you. We will make sure that the floor boards are checked in a planned future renovation to see if we can reduce the noise

Great to hear Nick - thanks for the review

4 out of 5
Great location, great price, easy parking, clean and comfortable with a good size bath. I was at the back which had less traffic noise but the back door was quite noisy with other guests not closing it quietly. It did stop and didn’t disturb my sleep but a door closer might help.
