Access to keys for entry was easy, bed was comfortable and the shower was good although the water took forever to drain away so I had to turn it off before it overflowed which may account for the slightly fousty smell in the room. No signal on TV no matter how many buttons we pressed!

Liked: Cleanliness
At least it was clean, so no problem there. I do have an issue when management companies ask for additional checks, asking for info and ID after booking through online agents. I'm a host so understand but it was a hassle as both me and my friend had to do it. Easy to find and access. Parking on the road was easy. Otherwise it was all just cheap and tired. Rooms smelt of smoking, mattress tired. But all was clean with cotton sheets and we were arriving late, leaving early so OK.

Decent and value for money

The accommodation is “Airb&b style”, so no service on site. However when I had a problem with access I got immediate attention on the phone. The room was reasonably clean, bedlinen and towels spotless. Shower, hot water etc. working fine, shower gel supplied, kettle available with plenty of tea and coffee. A wee bit shabby outside of the room but I gather they are still working on it. Cleaner/maid friendly. Value for money and I suspect but don’t know for sure that it will improve further.

Liked: Staff & service
1st room stunk of dogs, Central Heating not working, No Hot water at basin (Electric Shower ok). Emma (Receptionist) was extremely helpful, she moved us to another room which was a bit better (same as above just smelt better) and supplied us with 2 electric radiators. I think the problem is when we booked, we requested a room with a bathroom as there were rooms with a shared bathroom, when we did this, the photo linked to it on the booking page, was far nicer than the room we got. Lesson Learned!! You pay for what you get.

For the quality of the stay - shared bathroom, small room, twin mattresses pushed together, in Irvine - it should cost less. If the price reflected the quality of stay, it would be sufficient. Everything worked and I was able to complete my stay without issue.

Carpet has never been cleaned. Shower drainage blocked. The door key snapped when I tried to unlock. They wanted me to pay £90 for the key. The room smelled bad. It’s a guest house for people with no standards

Took me an hour to get through the front door. I had to upload my ID to a website just to get a code to get through the front door!! It was an absolute nightmare. DO NOT BOOK THE B&B UNLESS YOU ARE HOMELESS!! Its terrible. The place looks like it hasn't had any work done on it since the 1970s. I would not recommend this place. 1/10 for me!

I don’t recommend

£89 a night is criminal. My TV didn’t work, the bed nearly sunk into the floor when I sat on it and the place just doesn’t look nice. £40 a night and I’d say there would be less to complain about.

The area was decent for me but unfortunately the room was rather dire, the bed was clean thankfully but the rest of the room was grim, the worst being blood found in/on the drawers, the wardrobe and surrounding carpet. Only stayed for half my booked time
