Sauberes Zimmer und eine kleine Flasche Milch für Kaffee war da. Lage gut. Super freundliches Personal.

Das Zimmer war sehr klein und eng. Das Wifi hat fast gar nicht funktioniert. In der Dusche kam entweder brühend heisses oder eiskaltes Wasser. Nach dem duschen hab ich fast die Tür nicht mehr auf bekommen und mir so den Nagel umgebogen. Lichtschalter muss man regelrecht suchen. Alles in allem viel zu wenig für den Preis.

"Lobster Inn has brilliant staff that will look after you and the rooms are high quality!"

Staff & rooms were perfectly set up.

The shower running all over the floors - understand it’s designed for the less able.
