Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Abbey Guest House is appreciated for its convenient location, a short walk from the town centre and very close to the train station. Guests frequently highlight the spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms, many of which feature air conditioning and a very large TV, plus tea and coffee making facilities. Some guests have noted that the walls can be a bit thin, but the freshly cooked and tasty breakfast, along with the parking permit provided, contribute to the excellent value for money.

I liked that they has air conditioning in the rooms. I found a parking permit provided and appreciated this. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty. I enjoyed a cute atmosphere throughout my visit.

The walls was a bit thin, and the place felt noisy. The toilet done a really awful noise at night. It was waking me.
