Pros:

The location

Cons:

Misleading towards the free parking after booking and speaking with the owner before leaving i was told there was free parking but on arrival I was told that there are only x4 spaces and would have to park 2 streets away if the x4 spaces had been taken if I had of know this I would of cancel me reservation due to travelling with a £3000 mountain in my i needed to know it was secure this was not the case leading me to leaving at 2:30am in the morning because I had anxiety that my car and bike was not secure, the room was classed as a double room which was more a single with no room to more , the shower did not warm only externally hot which burnt my already burnt skin from the sun so I had to wash myself from a sink, the breakfast was poor and I found the landlady very rude , on one occasion entering my room without knocking to check if anyone was in there very dissatisfied with this booking.
