Quaint place to stay within walking distance of centre. Only thing I would suggest is that it would be nice to have a hair blower in the room for those travelling from other countries. Minor though.

Only downside is no elevator, but that is typical for this type of property. Short walk to downtown, Tesco nearby.

Alban & Abbey House was perfect for our one night stay. Check in was simple at their other guest house just at the end of the street and across the road. It is within walking distance of the town centre with plenty of parking at the property. The bed was very comfortable and the room was warm. Had everything we needed 🙂

Bath towels that are bigger than tea towels which I have experienced in other places. The television didn’t work today. I have stayed in many other places and yours was definitely the best in all areas
