If you like run down old hostels this is for you.
Pros:

This property was advertised as a hotel and is far short of that, it is a hostel.

Cons:

The place has probably not been renovated since the 70’s. The carpets were badly stained. The plumbing was appalling and rust marks all over the bath. They had the audacity to charge £100 per night for this shambles of a place.

Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to help with recommendations and advice for my mam, she would have struggled without them. I was unable to join the party due to injury and they made the whole experience great for my mam and children.

Ok
Pros:

Breakfast is served very late.. a continental breakfast at ..say..7am or even a 'collect' the night before would suit walkers better.

Cons:

The late breakfast see above
