Family short break
Amy the host was lovely, very accommodating and friendly. However, there’s no way you can call this a 4* upmarket guest house. I appreciate these buildings are very old and require a lot of funding to run and maintain. However, flaking paint everywhere inside and out, dust webs hanging from all light fittings, mould and mildew and limescale deposits in the shower and bathroom could be eliminated with a little effort. I booked a family room consisting of a double bed and a bunk bed. My son (9Y) wouldn’t sleep on the top bunk as the bed wobbled badly when he was trying to climb the ladder. I checked it out and found the floorboard under the leg closest to the door had collapsed quite significantly. The carpet and under the bed were clean. The wallpaper was lovely, but the room was cluttered with too many trinkets, pictures, mismatched themes. There were a couple of chairs in the room which were nice leather ones, but one covered in a rather dingy ill fitting chair cover. Another wooden chair covered in a floral chair cover. On a hygiene level these together with the sequin throw on the bed would be better off without. Aesthetically they were not pleasing to the eye. There was a wonderfully stylish resin table in the corner of the room. No plug sockets near any of the bedside tables. Only 1 on an extension lead and another old type next to the bathroom which doesn’t have a safety on off switch. A small fridge was appreciated however didn’t work. The bar was well stocked.
