Average Stay. Some Issues.

pub noisetiny sink
The room was quite noisy. I could hear everything happening in the pub downstairs, even with earplugs. The hand basin in the bathroom was also tiny. I would have liked a larger sink.

a mixed experience with some drawbacks

small hand washbasinpub noise
The small hand washbasin in the bathroom was quite inconvenient. It made simple tasks a bit awkward. also, the noise from the pub downstairs continued until 11 pm. this made it difficult to fall asleep early. i also found a lack of information in the room. i expected more detailed information from the staff too.

Convenient and Hospitable Stay

I received a friendly greeting with help for my bags. Its location suited my trip to Lundy Island. My breakfast order was taken the night before, so it was ready early. I appreciated them storing my bag to Lundy.
The single bed felt somewhat small and uncomfortable for a longer stay.
