the stairs were undeniably steep , and ascending them after a day of sightseeing proved to be quite difficult. i nearly lost my balance once. moreover , i found it inconvenient that i had to eat my delivered food downstairs , requiring me to go outside to the car park to receive it from the delivery driver. this arrangement was not ideal , considering my leg issues.

Fantastic Stay Near the River

convenient location short walk parking permits outdoor seating
I found the location convenient. The city center is a short walk. I appreciated the easy access to various restaurants and shops. The parking permits were a huge help, priced at only 5 pounds. I enjoyed the outdoor seating. It provided a great space to relax and watch people.
The stairs to the rooms are quite steep, so guests with mobility issues should consider this.
