Pros:

Clean and welcoming

Cons:

The payment was taken out my account prior to the stay when payment was to be on arrival. This could not be refunded to enable a different payment method.

There was no breakfast option

The room was small and very hot. I also requested that twin beds but got a double bed.

Pros:

Great location and views. Friendly staff

Cons:

Was expensive for room only. Would have been good to have breakfast available. Access was awkward when pub was closed and tea and coffee facilities not replaced, unless you requested it.

The evening meal was very nice. But not so much choice.
Pros:

Friendly people .

Cons:

Was very hot in the night no ventilation. Light just outside bedroom window in the night so it was very light in the night . And a silly step just before bedroom door when its dark its very dangerous needs to have floor light or senser light i feeled 2 times cos i always forgot. Shame no breakfast for this price .
