Nice small hotel in quiet close at the top Peasholm park. Walkable to North Bay attractions, with bus services to town centre and South Bay. Friendly host, good breakfast and clean room. I stayed three nights in a single room, with comfortable four foot bed. Room was compact but had everything I needed for my stay. Good value as well!

Great stay at a lovely place.

What a lovely place to stay close to Northbay and only £6 for a Taxi to Southbay. The Hotel is clean comfortably and ran by a lovely couple with a great Breakfast. What more do you need. We will return.
