It is a very cosy house in an excellent location. It is literally just in front of the Osborne Street Bus Stop. There are 2 very near car parks. Vineyard St Car Park which is just £1 from 6pm to 8am. Osborne Street NCP Car Park charges just £5.95 for 24 hours. These are probably the cheapest car park fees in the UK. High Street and Castle Park is just 10mins walk away. House is fully equipped.

Romantic and secluded it was the perfect getaway for a relaxed weekend away for two. Room was so cosy and warm, deceivingly roomy and the yurt was fully stocked with blankets, coffees and board games we took full advantage of! There was campfire equipment provided which we enjoyed very much as we ordered some pizzas and sat by the fire. The owners were very friendly and provided all information we needed via text and we had a nice chat with the land owner who recommended a lovely local pub to eat at. Could not recommend enough.

Great location in the city centre, lot's of restaurants and bars nearby. The staff was very friendly. In the room we found a lot of tea, some coffee, cookies, earplugs, which shows everthing is thought of. The beds were the best we ever had in a hotel. And our favorite was the English breakfast, both regular and vegetarian.

The location of the Railway Sleeper is excellent- on walking distance of the station, while there is also a good bus connection to the station and city centre. The room is small, and yet it has everything you need - small fridge, microwave, and tea & coffee making facilities. There 's also a folding table and chair, providing some extra space for reading, eating or remote working. The room is clean and welcoming and good value for money. I stayed here in August 2022 and again in December.
