Inconsistent Experience

low ceiling empty fridge

The staff provided acceptable service.

The Beautiful Double Room with Bath proved disappointing. The top floor location included a ceiling so low I had to walk hunched over. The bathtub took 30 minutes to fill, then the boiler ran out of hot water. This made a hot bath impossible. the room's fridge was completely empty.

friendly staff great breakfast convenient location empty fridge low ceiling no matches

The staff was friendly and helpful . Breakfast offered a great choice of options and it was cooked well. I FOUND the location convenient for exploring the area.

The fridge in my room was completely empty, not even a complimentary water was available. i stayed in a Beautiful double Room Bath, but the ceiling was too low. This made it difficult to stand up straight in some areas. There were no matches or a lighter in the room to light the candle.
