No greeting
Nobody greeted us as we had to let ourselves in via a key safe & it felt creepy on entrance. The heating made banging noises which was annoying. I don’t think the hosts know as they are not on site in the evening. Breakfast was lovely and it has plenty of free parking. The building is quite run down & needs some renovation work.

Disappointing
This property needs renovation! Could look so impressive but looks like it has been languishing for some time. Entry was guesswork! Bedroom was clean & bed comfortable. Dark heavy furniture & dark walls. Windows needed painting. Depressing.

Lovely quiet place
A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.

Disappointing
We arrived at the property with the door locked, no lights on. Had to phone a number to acquire the keys to get in were given a code to do this. Eventually arr into our room. Very shabby, bathroom smelly, lavatory seat was loose all in all very disappointing. The whole room needed a steam clean , the bed was a very small double, sadly we hardly slept. Having said all if that the lady serving in the breakfast room was very pleasant, breakfast was definately average. We wont stay there again. Whoever owns the property need to up there game . Apologies for being so blunt but it needed to be said.
