No greeting

Nobody greeted us as we had to let ourselves in via a key safe & it felt creepy on entrance. The heating made banging noises which was annoying. I don’t think the hosts know as they are not on site in the evening. Breakfast was lovely and it has plenty of free parking. The building is quite run down & needs some renovation work.

Disappointing

This property needs renovation! Could look so impressive but looks like it has been languishing for some time. Entry was guesswork! Bedroom was clean & bed comfortable. Dark heavy furniture & dark walls. Windows needed painting. Depressing.

Lovely quiet place

A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.
