A Rather 'Unique' Experience

daily breakfastworn towelsprecarious television
The breakfast did arrive daily.
The room decoration seemed to channel a bygone era, and not in a good way. The towels looked to have lived a full life, showing their age. the miniscule television struggled to stay on its stand, it leaned precariously.

Solid Stay with Excellent Service

convenient locationenglish breakfastfriendly familyhelpful staff
I found the location convenient. I could walk to many attractions easily. The breakfast included a proper English breakfast, and other choices were available. The family running the place was very friendly. They did everything to. The staff were helpful.
The water took a bit too long to get warm, and when it did, it got VERY hot quickly.
