The stay was very disappointing. The property was extremely noisy, with loud music surrounding the area, and the staff
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The stay was very disappointing.

The property was extremely noisy, with loud music surrounding the area, and the staff appeared to have little concern for the guests’ comfort.

The property advertises Wi-Fi, but when I asked the staff for the password, they were busy chatting and seemed to ignore my request. I was eventually told that someone would come to my room and provide the password, but I waited and no one came. Even by the next morning, nobody had followed up.

There was also no accessible plug point where I could plug in the kettle to boil water, which was very inconvenient.

Overall, the lack of attention from the staff and the basic facilities not being properly provided made the stay uncomfortable. I expected much better service and consideration for guests.

Never again. How often does anybidy check on places that is on internet
Pros:

What breakfast. No staff and not a sign of breakfast

Cons:

The non existant breakfast. No welcoming staff. Had to go to the back of the main building, which was locked, and found one staff member who was busy doing what looked like a months bedding in a bucket by hand. She gave us a key. No wifi to speak if!!! Tv wasnt working and she saud they inly had tv1 and e rv. Bedlight wasnt working and wall plug was loose and unsafe. Bathroom door has a footlong handle on the outside but nothing inside. Locked uf you close the door when inside. Main building needs upgrading as it looks like a rundown barn from the front. The road in front looks like a plowed field

Not horrible. Not great. Wouldn't go again or recommend.
Pros:

The security guard was really nice. Place was basic and clean. The place is great if you aren't expecting anything.

Cons:

Bed was broken. Lights barely working. No hot water. Only one towel provided for two people.
Would not recommend.
