Great location, easy to get to by car and had off street parking.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable and the large window made for a very well lit room in the daytime.

Cons:

Lighting was very poor. Very few lights in main room and they were very dull. The hot water was not very hot at all especially in the hand basin in the bathroom. The room capacity was four but there were only 2 mugs for coffee and tea making. We were a party of three and luckily I had my travel mug with me to facilitate making enough beverages for everyone. The carpet could have done with a vacuum as there tiny bits all over it.

Great location rooms need an upgrade
Pros:

Great location really lovely staff and breakfast was great

Cons:

Room was tired, shower curtain had a red stain/mold around the bottom of it and door to the bathroom was coming apart. My grandson found a toy under one of the beds so don’t know the last time the beds were moved and cleaned under.
