“The guesthouse balances modern needs with a historic structure; its location, though not central, offers easy access to the airport and city attractions via nearby transport. Rooms are well-equipped for families and solo travelers seeking a quiet base; I particularly appreciate the self-check-in for late arrivals. For those seeking a blend of convenience and charm, this could be a solid choice.”

Stay - Gilmore Guesthouse is often praised for its convenient location, close to local cafes, shops, and parks, with easy access to the city center via a short bus ride and around 20 minutes walk to the castle. Guests appreciate rooms equipped with tea and coffee stations, and amenities like a hairdryer and ironing board are seen as a bonus, plus some rooms feature USB sockets by the bed.

The room was clean when i arrived.
The room was quite cold upon my arrival. Despite the staff providing an additional heater, the central heating system did not seem to function properly. Air was entering through the closed windows making it worse.

The room was clean! neat and comfortable. The host provided all the equipment needed for an enjoyable stay.
There was no staff on site. It felt more like an Airbnb than a hotel, and seemed overpriced though!

the room included a usb socket by the bed. the water heater worked very well providing hot water. there was also a hairdryer available which i found useful. a tesco express was a short walk away for any essentials.
the walls seemed quite thin. i could hear noise from the adjacent room after midnight which was disruptive.
