clean roomcomfortable roomdog basketcreaky bedmetal framelimited food
the room was very nice and neat, i found a dog basket, blanket, and treats which i thought was a nice touch. the guesthouse was very accommodating for our pet dog. the breakfast was delicious.
the bed was really creaky and the metal frame was very noisy when i moved. it also smelt quite sweaty when i went in! food had stopped being served before i arrived and i'd picked the place thinking i could get dinner there.

helpful staffunbearable noisemissing warning
The staff seemed nice and helpful. I also found the food in the restaurant acceptable and breakfast to the room was a nice thing.
The noise on the night I stayed was unbearable because they were holding a party for a teenager. When I booked my stay, there was no warning about such an event and its noise. It would be appreciated to know in advance, because the night was not relaxing at all.
