The room is quiet and comfortable, as it is in the basement of the house, with another guest room opposite, which was unoccupied during my two stays (7-9 November and 20-23 November). During my first stay the room was serviced on the second day. This time it was not serviced at all, even though I was there for three days. No soap had been provided. I had to use the shower gel. The milk provision ran out. Still, it was good value for money, and an excellent location. I would stay there again.

Everything was excellent and brilliant value for money……only feedback i could offer to make the experience even better is possibly secondary glazing on window above the bed to block out road and late night revellers.

Efficient service, clean room and superb value for money. No need for luxury at a Gaudy- didn’t come for the facilities, but for the memories and the people. A very happy stay. Thank you.

Very reasonable price and comfortable. Clean. Towels provided. Only thing that would enhance it further would be access to a kettle to be able to make a hot drink

Great room for a gaudy. Duvet wasn't necessarily as warm as I was used to but room was clean and tidy. Excellent food for the College Gaudy.
