the STAFF was friendly. the evening meals provided great value. breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty. the beds felt supremely comfortable and clean, a true blessing after a long day.
First impressions on arrival were of peeling paint. the exterior seemed neglected. this continued inside WITH scuffed wallpaper. stained carpets also covered the staircase going up to the rooms. A VERY disheartening sight.
