Awesome Stay Above a Lively Pub!
huge room clean space comfy bed convenient parking
The room felt really huge and super clean. Beds were comfy, and I would totally stay again. It is just down the road from the college, so the location is great (very convenient!). Parking is available, a huge plus, especially since I was driving.
The 'private' car park is actually behind an Indian restaurant across the street, I was not expecting that (it's a little weird!).
Facilities
9/10
The accommodation is above a pub, but the key collection is conveniently across the road at a restaurant. Parking is available behind the restaurant, so bringing a car should not be an issue. You can leave the keys in the door upon departure, a very convenient feature.
Rooms
9/10
The room includes a comfortable bed and a nice shower with soap and towels provided. A standard tea and coffee tray is also available, so you can make yourself a hot drink anytime. Bed linen and towels were really nice and clean.
Location
8/10
The location is handy for the race course and my stay. The keys are easy to pick up across the road, I found it so easy. The pub downstairs opens tuesday till sunday, so keep that in mind if you want to visit it.
