Great Choice for what we paid!!let’s be honest £70 bed and breakfast for a Friday night in June you know pretty much what your going to get!!The room was small and tired with a shared bathroom lots of paintwork needed touching up could do with updating in lots of areas and general maintenance .That said good nights sleep in a comfy bed a good breakfast in the morning (not a fry up)cereals,toast,yogurt fruit with juices tea coffee etc.The entrance was very nice as was the breakfast room! The host was very nice and for the money I would go back
