The road noise was quite noticeable. I could hear traffic throughout the night. The WiFi did not work during my entire stay. I tried multiple devices, but none could connect, a significant inconvenience since I needed it for planning my day trips.

Surprisingly Great Stay!

The staff was accommodating. I decided to extend my stay another night because the rooms were clean! I visited the Eden Project and went to the beach. Both were within walking distance. I definitely plan to return.

I noticed the kettle wasn't working on my last morning. I realized this only as I waited to leave.

I found the staff friendly and eager to ensure a great experience. The atmosphere felt cute, which I appreciated since I was travelling solo. The room was nicely decorated and I slept well in the comfortable bed. I was able to enjoy a proper classic pub experience with a refreshing pint in the garden.

I found that the walls were quite thin and I could hear some noise from neighboring rooms.
