The cost for this room was very cheap so I didn't expect a lot of frills. I had let them know that my plane landed at 9 am and was informed that the room would be ready at 2 pm, but they would secure our luggage until check in time. Sounded perfect but upon arrival was confronted by a person who ask how we got in (the door was unlocked), so I explain who we were and that we had paid reservation. Once he checked it out (lack of communication) he took our luggage. We went to the Abbey had breakfast and some beers hung out and talked to locals. Then we walked around the corner sat a few minutes till they opened the door. We were given our room key and two door keys,instruction on checking out and how to get a hold of him. The room was simple but clean;our luggage was in the room;plenty of towels, toilet paper, shower gel, and shampoo.I love the idea of having the keys so we could come and go as we pleased. The building is pretty old, with very tall windows and a nice view of a green yard with black/white birds. My first impression was oh no...but I settled down and checked out things they had everything we needed. Free wi-fi (password on bathroom door) shower/toilet in room (which I requested) clean beds and TV with quite a few channels.If you wanted glam with your room go somewhere else and pay for it. Yet if you want just a room to sleep and freshen up, close to bus stops,bank, ATM and food/drink establishments then this is the place for you. My sister didn't care for her bed but all beds seem out of whack compared to your own. I slept fine in mine. Even tho the main street was an ambulance easy route to the hospital the room was very quiet and with drapes drawn very dark.

Not impressed! I checked the reviews before we booked and overall it sounded pretty good but don't be fooled by the website! After booking I emailed the owners twice about checking in and had no response on either occasion. A phone call finally sorted it. The website makes it sound like an elegantly furnished home with much talk of its history and ownership but in reality it is tired with peeling paint, wallpaper and water stains on the bedroom ceiling. Our room was at the front and extremely noisy with the traffic so impossible to have the window open and sleep and pretty impossible to sleep with it closed. The ensuite was clearly a converted built in wardrobe and although nicely done, there was a crack between the two 'wardrobe/bathroom' doors so that anyone sitting opposite on the chair could see you sitting on the loo! The tight space meant that bending to clean teeth required your bottom being squashed against the wall. The shower was good, but grout dark brown with lack of cleaning. Breakfast is served from 8.30 - when we arrived promptly at 8.30 the owner had just arrived so the dining room wasn't laid up and ready. Poor selection of cereal and one juice only. The cooked breakfast was small but very tasty. Our second pot of tea was clearly made by reusing the teabag as we couldn't get any tea colour from the pot the second time it was filled. Our overall impression was that the owners had lost interest in it. It was far behind the standard of other B&Bs in the area for the same price (oh and breakfast is an extra £8.50 each. On a positive, the location was excellent for access to the town and the restaurant opposite (Southpour) was fabulous. Think very carefully before booking!
