EXCELENT VALUE FOR MONEY
Pros:

THE BREAKFAST AND THE LOCATION WERE EXCELLENT

NOISE FROM OTHER ROOMS WAS A SMALL PROBLEM ON TWO OCCASIONS AND WAS DEALT WITH. THE WINDOW FRAMES AND TILE GROUTING DO NEED ATTENTION BUT TIS DID NOT AFFECT OUR STAY.

Pros:

Great location and friendly hosts. Room was adequate and had everything i needed and even the choice of both a bath or shower which most rooms nowadays only offer a shower option. Everything was nice and clean and comfortable. Great value for money

Cons:

Single beds are a little bit on the small side but I managed. Not use to sleeping in one but it done the job so not a complaint just an observation
