"Reasonable for the price, but I wouldn’t stay there again."

Good

5.0

Great value and characterful property. Great location. Friendly staff. Bed fairly comfortable.

Not great for anyone over 6ft tall. Few things lacking: spare toilet paper, proper bath towels and an extra pillow each. Could do with upgrading the curtains as there is a security light right outside the window that goes on and off all night. Bathroom could do with updating, but that is reflected in the price.
