I would have preferred to have updated photos and information related to the stay.
Pros:

There wasn’t a breakfast.

Cons:

It wasnt overly clean, there was also a LOT of noise being made by the floor above us, between 10pm and around 3am sounding like moving furniture.
The wifi also did not work.

Cons:

We made a booking online, and when we turned up we could not access the building. After ringing and emailing for nearly half an hour, we left and found somewhere else to stay. The phone number on the door that we were meant to ring just rang out.

Good last minute option but will not stay here again.
Pros:

The room was a good option for a last minute night away at a fair price.

Cons:

Unfortunately when we arrived we were advised the spa bath wasn’t working which was incredibly disappointing as that’s the only reason we booked the room. The cleanliness of the room was questionable especially in the bath room. The bath and shower both had substantial amounts of mould in the silicone and the shower was unusable with the amount of mould on the shower head which was very disappointing.

Fantastic spot opposite the water with a touch of quirky period charm
Pros:

Phil was a great host with many extras available , even a glass of wine for such a small fee.. We felt the room could use a bit of time and TLC as starting to look and feel worn and in need. But otherwise location and vibe was great.

Cons:

Its very much a self serve check in etc and even though ours was a last minute booking it took an hour at least to get onto him to get into the hotel as all locked up and his advertised phone number was a full voicemailbox message.

Great option in the centre of town.
Pros:

Great location in centre of town. Room was large and comfortable. Excellent shower and comfy bed. Downstairs lounge and complementary port was a nice bonus.

Cons:

If in the front room be conscious of privacy as you are very visible from the park and path across the road.

This was a lovely location and although the room/building is old, the location makes up for it. Door lock was rathe
Pros:

The view and location

Cons:

Pillows, smoke detector (hanging open and looked to have no battery), door lock entry to room (took several times to open, prefer key or swipe card for ease of use)
