- "Clementines Townhouse is a beautiful place to stay and the staff couldn't do enough for you. There is even a lovely resident cat who walks around minding his own business. The decor is up to date and cosy, which makes Clementines feel like home away from home. The town centre was only 10 mins away but out of the way enough for a peaceful night in the evening. Room fully equipped with tea, coffee, hot choc and even a cheeky kit kat. The bar area and lounge is lovely, with music on in the background but not too loud to drown out conversation. We could have sat in the lounge all night. Bedrooms are a decent size, plenty of space even with the furniture. We had a great night sleep, comfy bed, and bedding. Heating was on throughout our whole time here which you can control yourself, so we were nice and snug at night time. Plenty of choice at breakfast with no waiting around for food and drinks, we were also checked in on to see if we'd had enough or wanted more toast etc. Overall amazing stay and we'll be back for sure. Thank you for having us :)"
