The room provided does not match what is shown in the photos online. The room has not been renovated at all and remains in a below average condition, with things like torn carpets and dirty fans. The bed was clean but do not expect much - the price is fair for what you are given.

It was hard to find the place, not very well lit up. Did not know it was attached to the Pub & bottle shop. Bathrooms need a proper door, especially the shower for the women. The meals were big, enough for 2 people.

Disgusting. The smoke alarm in my room beeped non stop. Walked around to get assistance - no one around the whole place locked up. Rang number - goes to message bank. Ended up having to sleep in my car. Emailed to complain and ask for a refund which was ignored. The place itself was filthy and stank. Very unclean - the shared kitchen was absolute filth with food dried up on the floor. The only time you would appreciate this place would be when the only alternative was sleeping in a gutter. Avoid avoid

We booked this Accommodation even after reading all the terrible reviews. Don't be fooled, it really is as bad as the reviews make it out to be. We booked a 3-night stay as we wanted to save some money on adventures. We don't mind budget accommodation. But it was very dirty. We saw a cleaner come in every morning, but I'm not sure what she was doing. The bathrooms were disgusting, I showered without touching anything. The bedroom was awful, with holes in the carpet, dusty, and had not seen a vacuum in a very long time. There was a sink in the corner of our room that had not even been wiped out. I had to wipe all the sides before we could unpack anything. We didn't use the communal kitchen- not even for water from the tap. The bedding and towels were clean which is the only reason we managed to stay, otherwise, we would have slept in the car. There is no aircon and the fan sounds like a helicopter is about to take off. The only saving grace is that the staff was lovely and the restaurant food was amazing.

Halfway Horror House from Hell...

Halfway Horror House from Hell... It was an experience, a down right dirty one. The accommodation boasted stained everything, cockroach covered floors and a fridge that required a bio hazard suit to go anywhere near it. The environment felt unsafe and gave somewhat a feel of a horror movie. Budget and basic is fine but the sanitary conditions were far from acceptable.

I stayed in budget accommodation without an ensuite. My tv was broken, the bedroom basin had not been cleaned, there was drip marks all down the wall from someone previously throwing a drink at the wall. The curtains were damaged, and the staff were not very friendly or nice. I didnt mind the kitchen and amenities, I would not stay here again. The ladies bathroom toilet leaked, bad, and the tap to wash your hands would not turn off. Wasting water constantly. The staff turn on the vacuum down stairs at 6am, with no regard to people sleeping up stairs. All over, I was desperate for accommodation for 3 nights. I would not recommend staying longer then 1. Im not someone who normally complains or writes bad reviews but, this place is old and needs alot of work, and new staff who actually take pride in their work.
