Had everything we needed for our Weekend and plenty of space for us to sit and eat together. Easy walk into centre of city and we noticed some new cafes close by. Recommend it for a stay anytime. Take care getting into the parking area as the gateway is on an angle to the road and cars come both ways along Severn road. Otherwise only improvement I can think of is to have an extra sofa bed downstairs or split one of the doubles to make it more flexible for groups of friends rather than couples.

From warehouse buildings to open land. this place has it all. The nearness of the bridge wasn't a problem as the double glazing was so good. Yes the stairs are quite steep, but as an 83 year old, with a new hip. it wasn't a problem. Having a downstairs toilet was great. So many good features in this property, can't wait to return.
