Negative Reviews
negative:
Trek to the toilet
Guests staying in bedrooms without their own ensuite bathroom have commented that the shared bathrooms were quite often on a different floor to where they were staying. Guests didn't feel that this was convenient, and would be more likely to book an ensuite bedroom should they stay here again.
negative:
A refurbishment wouldn't go amiss
Some guests feel that this accommodation would benefit from a refurbishment, as decor is outdated and furnishings are starting to look a little tired.
negative:
Some noise from outside
Because this guesthouse is right next door to a pub, some guests have reported that it can be quite noisy at kicking-out time, especially at peak season. Guests who struggle to sleep may wish to do further research to understand if any bedrooms are less noisy than others prior to making a booking.
