Cons:

I didn't realise it was more of a hostel situation, the room didn't have a bathroom, only a small sink and 2 bunk beds.

Enjoyable yet challenging
Pros:

I must formally acknowledge that the failure to upgrade this room was entirely my own administrative oversight. The property does, in fact, accommodate three people; if one interprets “accommodate” in the most legally defensible sense of the word.

The sleeping arrangement consisted of a twin and single bed configured in what can only be described as an optimistic bunk-style formation. This may well suit three moderately sized Europeans. It is, however, a more complex proposition when one member of the travelling party measures 6 ft 5.

Following robust feedback in the Twisty Di** WhatsApp group, I have reflected deeply on my performance as Trip Organiser. While my historical record in this role has been strong, this booking will be remembered as a humbling chapter in an otherwise decorated career.

Lessons have been learned. Height and the aforementioned 6 ft 5 individuals last minute decision making will be factored into future procurement decisions.

Cons:

Pros:

Value was pretty good. Location was excellent. Staff were lovely. Pub food was tasty. Discount at restaurant when you stay which is fabulous.

Cons:

There are no tea/coffee or toaster facilities in the room. Rooms are up multiple flights of stairs with no disabled access to rooms. Hard for people with mobility issues. Not a fan of shared bathrooms, but they were clean. Would be great for younger family.
