Acceptable Stay, but With Some Issues

broken television creaky floorboards

I was a bit disappointed with some aspects of the room. The television did not work, a nuisance after a long day. The floorboards are creaky, and I could hear noise from other rooms. This made it difficult to get a good night's rest.

Fantastic B&B Experience!

efficient checkin friendly manager affordable option

Check-in was super fast! The manager was friendly both when I arrived and when I left the hotel. I appreciated the basic breakfast, which cost only 5 pounds. It was nice to have an affordable option right on site.

The TV in my room wasn't working correctly! Staff did try to assist, but I still wasn't able to view the BBC. That was a bummer.
