Negative Reviews

Tired rooms not the best
Although fine for the most part, numerous previous visitors had issues with their rooms at the accommodation. Along with apparently showing tiredness in areas, the rooms have been described as somewhat cramped and containing small televisions.
negative:
Intermittent Wi-Fi service
The quality of the B&B's Wi-Fi was routinely criticised by former guests that used the service during their stay. In particular, the range of the Wi-Fi was labelled as insufficient in covering the whole property, while its reliability was also derided at times.
negative:
Pub noise can be an issue
A small number of past visitors complained about noise during their time at the accommodation. It has been noted that the on-site pub, which is located below the rooms, can produce noticeable noise - although this problem usually subsides at what was considered an acceptable time of night.
