    The location was perfect for my visit to the archives and barely 10 minutes walk away from the town itself. I liked being able to refresh the tea/coffee/biscuits myself, and it was a bonus having a fridge and microwave in the room.

    Close to the city, owners are super lovely, and the room was spacious and comfy. Really like the extra touches of the box of teas and biscuits, and the fridge in the room.
