Reviews
Highly recommend this place.
Wrote an email but received no reply.
The only downfall was the bed was a little uncomfortable and it was hard to get to sleep due to noisy patrons in the bar downstairs. The water tasted a little chemically so we had to buy bottled water.
A couple of draw backs, the noise from bands playing until late was annoying and the balcony was more of a shared verandah and not separated from the adjoining room, as they were smokers we couldn’t sit outside without breathing their smoke. Also there was only one table and 2 chairs and an old bench seat for the two rooms.
Cleanliness , Recently Renovated Old World/ Modern Great Stay
Will Return Eat & Stay
Bed was very comfortable and a nice choice of pillows. For the price it was excellent. The meal at the pub was beautiful
Will deffenatly be back.
I unfortunately I did not realise that there is no lift and I have mobility issues..this was hard for me. I am not sure this was made clear somewhere.
