Quiet, comfy and welcoming
Pros:

This place is amazing. It’s in a quiet location which is close to transport, food and alcohol if you want to go for a drink. The room was gorgeous and clean and the bed was comfortable, there’s also plenty of tv channels if you just want to relax for a bit after a busy day. The staff were welcoming, approachable and let us know if anything was needed to just let them know. It was just myself and my daughter she thought it was a beautiful place to stay and made sure to let me know that she wants to stay again.
Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

We had a good stay and the owner and her son went above and beyond to be helpful to us.so for this reason I would stay a
Pros:

The owner and her son was absolutely lovely. Even moved their car so we could park ours. Repeatedly as we was in and out.

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable and there was no breakfast and no bar. Although the owner Christine is now having to care for her husband as he’s had a major stroke. Absolutely heartbreaking

Hotel stay cut short due freezing room
Pros:

The staff were friendly and welcoming staff. The bed were Comfy and the room was clean

Cons:

The room was small, cramped, and outdated. There was barely enough space to move around, especially with two people getting ready at the same time. Additionally, the lack of soundproofing meant we could hear everything from the neighboring rooms and downstairs. The room was freezing cold, as the weather outside was poor, with strong winds and heavy rainfall. We noticed a gap in the framework that allowed cold air to enter. As a result, we decided to leave after just one night due to the bad weather. Overall, the hotel is in need of major refurbishment.
