You get what you pay for

Functional welcome, no real warmth. Room was very small, but formed of a short corridor where the shower and toilet have been installed. The bed was against the window wall and was not made properly and sheets not tucked in fully on the far side. The mattress felt old and only sufficient. The window did not close properly and let in a draught when cold outside. Conversely, during the day the room was too hot as the window only opens partially. Shower was acceptable, not the strongest, but sufficient.

Property was in a good location for an event that I was attending, which overall was the only positive. It is not a hotel, it is a guest house which smelt like a greasy spoon. The people who run/ own it are quite pleasant, however the guest house is not very clean. The carpet in the bedroom needed a good hovering. There was dust and biscuit crumbs on the dressing table. The towels are grey and well used.luckily I had bought enough of my own. Bathroom, toilet and shower could have been cleaner. Did not use the kettle or the cups in the room due to the dust and not looking clean. I slept in my dressing gown and put a towel on the pillows so that my face was not incontact with the pillows. I am sorry but I would not recommend this establishment.

I booked here a few weeks ago and it seems on the reviews a good place, do not believe everything you read, the place was disgusting, promised room 3 on level ended up on level, room 7, the carpet was filthy, cobwebs on the wallpaper above the headboard, some old metal towel rack that had never been cleaned in the bathroom, the toilet itself had never seen bleach or a clean, urine stains on the toilet and public hair under the seat which you had to hold up while you had a wee, the staircase carpet had never seen a hoover, I have give one star, and they were lucky to get that, also the mattress had a mind of its own, while you sleep on it it moves away from the wall on its own by about 12 inches, I left on Sunday at 7pm I'd had enough, Do not stay here, you have been warned, it's filthy.

Enjoyable

Lovely stay at a very friendly hotel. We were made to feel welcome on arrival and the hotel owners Paul and Scarlet could not do enough to help us enjoy our stay. We did not book breakfast but it was there for us each day if we wanted it. Paul recommended other bars for us to attend and helped reassure us about one we weren't sure about. All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Dragon Fly and will certainly return
