More of a Budget Lodge than a Hotel

I was at the hotel mainly for the purpose of keeping my luggage while I traveled to Edinburgh and returned for my return trip out of the UK the following day. It is more of a lodge than a hotel with few rooms. The room is highly functional with almost everything you need provided within the small space. It is not a quiet place as the ground floor is divided between the restaurant and a noisy bar.

It has seen better days. Shower only worked with a small red switch next to the bathroom which we had trouble finding, Water was either cold or scalding hot, Bed was too short for a 1.80 m Person + mattress old. Sheets were clean. Windows did not close.
