"Great Location to Old Town"

9.0

Proximity to Old Town. Bus stop right across the road. The English style buffet breakfast options were plentiful, & great coffee. Rooms & furnishings a bit tired and worn however the room satisfied our purpose for our stay

Be aware there are only stairs to the rooms, pack accordingly and no fridge in rooms. Parking spaces are limited but it can work

"A lovely guest house"

8.0

The location was lovely with friendly staff and clean, well organised rooms. The breakfast was very tasty with varied options available.

The only improvements I might suggest is having the breakfast time window be a little wider. 8-9 aside from Sundays is a bit too late if you need to be somewhere early and a bit too early if you fancy a lay in.

"The stay was ok but we would probably look for alternative locations if we returned in the future."

5.0

We thought the property itself was just ok but weren't pleased with the location. We spent another night at a different guest house which was in a better location at a lower price.

Location. Also, the room was very hot because there was no air conditioning.
