Rose Marie Guest House

A very basic family run guest house. Staff were warm and friendly.

As I arrived I was disappointed to find no parking, even though the as displays free parking, i had to park in a public car park across the road, the cost was only £4.50 though for 24 hours. I was pleased with the cleanliness and modernness of my room, which had been upgraded from single shared bathroom to double en-suité. The room had a fridge, microwave kettle and plates, bowels and cups. I found the staff friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was mediocre at best, I probably wouldn’t eat there again.

Have stayed here a few time now. Very good value for money. Easy flexible check-in and checkout.

The Hosts were very friendly and are more than willing to help you in any way they can. The hallway light outside the room was not good for me trying to get to sleep, looks like that stays on all night. Microwave and fridge was very handy though.

My room was very cosy, bed was comfortable like home from home! Breakfast was superb. I was happy with what I paid. Shower was lovely and hot and the bathroom was clean. I'll definitely be back to stay again soon

It was an "ok" stay, but just "ok", and really because of the bargain-basement price. I stayed in the main building (I understand there is a second building too). My single room was cramped and in need of renovation - too many cables hanging off the wall, lamp not working, bathroom basically a toilet and shower in a cupboard under the stairs, bathroom floor tiling a mess, the "wardrobe" being a few hangers on a hook on the back of the door. The wall was paper-thin and I could hear the TV in the adjacent room as if it was right in front of me ... and whoever had that other room wanted to watch TV at 6am on a Sunday! Parking was advertised as "free self-parking" when in fact I was directed to the public car park over the road. £4 for 24hrs isn't bad, but it's not free. Thankfully it was a 1-night, in and out stay. This would not have been a good choice for a longer stay. But there were some good things: Easy to find. Cheap. Window did a good job at keeping out the road noise. The owner was friendly and helpful, and made a fantastic full English breakfast. Walking distance to the city centre ... although at night in the dark the shortest route felt a bit dodgy, like keep-your-wits-about-you dodgy.

It was good. Only problem I had, asked for a single bed private room when I called them to ensure the booking availability. The person answered the phone reassured it. But when I went in there it wasn’t a single bed private room luckily no other guests came in the night I stayed. Overall good. They serve breakfast as well. It’s separately paid though.

Traditional guest house B&B run by a lovely Irish bloke. Welcome was warm, breakfast was outstanding, room was comfortable and clean. It's not the Paris Hilton, but for its its class and price point, it was everything you'd hope for.

Landlord very helpful and friendly. Easy walk into city centre. Very good breakfast
