Jeffrey

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Small stuffy rooms with no A/C and the owner can't spring for even a moderate fan. The bathroom and shower are shared. The owner can't spring to even fix the shower head which becomes a factor when one is trying to be as quick as possible in a bathroom shared with guests from 5 other rooms. Spend 20 pounds and fix the shower at least.

We were in room 16 in the converted cottage at the back and it had low standard of construction, no sound proofing, and a low standard of cleaning, particularly in the shower room. Staff were very unhelpful on checkout as they refused point blank to interact with us. Gobsmacking!
