Rock 'n' Roll Retreat
cute staff convenient location hearty breakfast
The staff welcomed me warmly , and they were genuinely happy to assist with anything I needed. I found the location convenient , a quick walk placed me among shops and restaurants. Breakfast each morning included a hearty selection and fresh ingredients. The convenience of having a car park nearby for a reasonable daily rate of £5 was a definite plus.
I noticed some wear and tear , specifically the bathroom tiles need attention.

poor soundproofing pigeon disturbance
The staff were friendly and helpful I received early check in which was a bonus.
The room was not sound proof I could hear music all night. Pigeons also caused disturbance resulting in a poor sleep. I would not stay with kids again.
