A Mixed Experience

steep staircase loud music

The pub downstairs had a cute atmosphere, and check-in went very easy.

The steep staircase was a pain, especially with bags, I struggled to climb. The room seemed cramped. I found hairs in the shower and some mould on the ceiling.

friendly staff fruit pastries mini fridge small room steep staircase uncomfortable chairs

The staff were very friendly on arrival. i was taken to my room and shown all i needed to know. the room had many teas and coffee options. It also had a kettle. our breakfast was an added bonus with cereals fruit pastries and a mini fridge.

The room was small. the staircase was steep. i found it a struggle to negotiate especially with luggage. two chairs were uncomfortable. The only place you could sit was on the bed.
