Cons:

Wi-fi signal came and went
Shower was only a dribble and was scalding hot

Last minute booking ,it wouldn't have been our choice if we had time to look round.
Cons:

Breakfast was advertised as in price but there was none.Staff non existent,but there was one elderly gentleman ,Mike who was very helpful. He dealt with the booking,and contacted the owner who lives in London,to allocate us clean room. Eventually we got a room ,clean towels and bedding but the whole place. needs a desperate makeover

HoteHell
Pros:

When we walked out after being in the room for ten minutes.

Cons:

The place felt more like a halfway house than a guest house/hotel,and in our opinion it should not be advertised on your site,yes the pictures look ok but in real life it is far different.

Pros:

The location and frontage of the property was lovely

Cons:

On arrival , there was no one at reception to check in , just a piece of paper asking people to call a number to call for someone to come to us, which I called . When the gentleman got to reception he asked if my name was on a list also on the reception desk which it wasn't so I was then asked to contact another number which took several attempts to get an answer. Once we had been given our keys, we made our way to the 3rd floor to the room allocated for us .... I opened the door and saw an unmade bed , dirty used cups , rubbish in the bin and a used towel on the floor of bathroom . This room was also too small for our booking of 2 adults , 1 child under 2 and 2 dogs . There was no cot for the child to sleep in . I again contacted the phone number to complain about the room and was told someone would provide a cot a clean bedding . We left to get food and on arrival back at the property we found a travel cot outside the room door and clean bedding on the floor next to it . Nobody had been in to clean the room for us so we still had no cups to make drinks , used bedding and towels and was expected to do this for ourselves. The travel cot when attempted to be put up didn't work properly and one of the sides would not stay up so this was not suitable or safe for a small child to sleep in . I made the decision that it would be safer if my friend and his child stayed in the bed together and I would seek alternative accommodation but due to late hour was unsuccessfu and I ended up sleeping in the car with the dogs. During the booking process there was no where to include the dogs so was expecting to address this at reception on arrival but obviously with no one at reception this was not the case. I was then told they wanted to charge me a fee of £25 per dog per night , which I find very expensive for saying that the booking for 2 adults and 1 child was £59.
