Good value option. The room was functional and clean enough. The shared bathroom was fine. There was a small continental style breakfast provided though the milk was out of date. The house itself is atmospheric. Overall a good stay and would happily return. Microwave also available to prepare ready meals etc.

Arrived at the property with no one in attendance key was picked uo from remote locked box. Went to the room and found tbe doir to ths bedroom had dirt and stains on the door, the main roller blind in the bedroom when unrolled had dead moths stuck to it. The bathroom didn't have any toilet paper (a badic necessity i would have thought) which we had to go to the shops and buy, we went to the main building to complain but there was no staff there, building is under heavy refurbishment and looks like a building site. Had no point of contact the full stay. Stated on the hotel ad that breakfast was available but we found out only aftet we paid the room that there was ni facilities for breakfast and was informed by email there was plenty food outlets on the high street. Did not enjoy the stay and definitely would not recommend tbis Hotel to anyone.
