Very nice staff Great breakfast Tired old looking accommodation Few plugs so had to unplug the kettle to recharge the phone No light bulb in the hall way so coming back late at night struggled to get the key in the door However reported it to a domestic the next morning & was dealt with immediately Couldn’t double lock my room door either & forgot to mention To be fair it was very low priced and the location completely suited my needs
