cramped bathroom abrupt owner
The bathroom felt pretty cramped, i must say. and, oh boy, the owner could be a bit snappy. It wasn't the warmest welcome i've ever experienced. he didn't really seem to be a people's person! it's a strange setup, i guess? but it was cheap, so what can you do.

a lovely stay

tasty evening meal caring staff comfortable bed great amenities
I enjoyed a tasty evening meal. It was prepared well. the staff are caring and courteous, especially april. she was a star. our bedroom was fine, and the bed really comfortable. tea, coffee, water and juice were provided, along with cookies.
the sink and shower unit could use a good cleaning. the lamp stands were dusty. the little fridge needed a clean. milk was supplied, but it was a half-used bottle in the fridge.
