The room was very neat and clean, well presented and well stocked with anything we might need. John was lovely to speak to and deal with. Its location was perfect, allowing us to travel to many different areas with ease. Despite its central location, however, our room was blissfully quiet and we couldnt hear any traffic whatsoever. Pub next door was also great and convenient

Small kitchen ✔️ Extremely clean ✔️ Great location ✔️(Grovesdale hotel right next door - really fantastic pub) Heating, cooling, electric blankets ✔️ *The only issues were one electric was loose & the plug kept falling out of the power point & the curtains didn’t quite close properly But l would still highly recommend the Golden Palm :)
