This property is not an "upmarket B&B" It should be considered as a Hostel. There is a separste bedroom & bathroom, however all other amenties are shared. Laundry facillities are in another building down the road & Wifi is not free.

Very bad smell in the whole property. Feel like mould smell. Bedding is humid. I can't breathe properly in the room. So I almost didn't get any sleep that night. It's called B&B, but doesn't offer any breakfast. No wifi at all.

Easy check in process, had a pool (too cold to use while i was there), It would be an ideal place for a group booking as 3 rooms connect to the common room. The downside to that is, if rooms are booked by random people, it can be loud - if you are looking for a quiet night.

Couldn’t get through with internet disrupting booking. So booked in elsewhere, then received a booking confirmation from B &B later. Tried to immediately cancel. Would not accept cancellation and charged full amount when we never even stayed there. Lady on phone helpful, said we should be able to successfully cancel booking but got charged anyway.

When we got over the bleach almost knocking us out the door, we found it a very strange property. Our room was annexed to a very dated living room with a bar fridge numbered for each room. We also weren't notified that there was nothing except UHT milk in the fridge. To be fair, we weren't advised that breakfast was provided although some reviews mentioned it. Our room had a saggy old futon with a daggy cover. Surely a nice chair would be affordable and presentable. The see through curtain on the front door of our room had been noted in reviews three years ago, yet still nothing has changed. Hence privacy is almost non existent. Cheap broken curtain rod being used as a towel rail just dropped on the floor at the slightest touch. Shower door had a broken off handle. Above all it was the totally filthy floor that was the most memorable defect. I wish I took a photo of my feet after walking around for just a few minutes. Absolutely jet black and filthy. Yet the bedlinen was fantastic. Go figure.
