The hotel is just a 5 minute walk into town with parking that is £10 a night, the only downside side is the walls are thin and if you’ve got a neighbour whose got their tv on loud , like I did, you’ll get no sleep

I had booked an extra night, to make my traveling plans easier. But didn't know that I had to pay £10.00 a night for parking, so it made a good priced hotel, dearer.
