Wonderful Stay, Great Location
clean locationexcellent breakfastconvenient pathway
The location proved very convenient. It was just a short walk into the town. I found a pathway through the doctor's surgery. This pathway took me directly to the Nelson Ale House. Everything was clean. I found the cooked breakfast excellent.
The wash basin didn't have any hot water. No one fixed it . I did complain to the staff member.

The breakfast was fine (it was cooked well).
I stayed in a double room and was surprised the wash basin had no hot water at all. I told someone, but it WASN'T fixed during my entire stay. The room size was also a problem for me. It felt really small.
