Negative Reviews
negative:
Dated and rough around the edges
The overall condition of the accommodation was criticised by various former guests. From the reportedly outdated dining room to the worm rooms, various concerns have been brought up about the standard of the guest house on the whole.
negative:
Understaffed with slow service
Numerous recent visitors to the guest house were left disappointed about the service they received. Although the staff members were often said to be friendly and helpful, it has been claimed that the service – from breakfast to checking out – could be slow due to a lack of workers available at the time.
negative:
Issues with noise
Noise was a disruptive problem for a notable amount of past guests that stayed at the accommodation. Along with reportedly creaky floorboards and not the best soundproofing, external noise was an issue due to the property’s position on a main road.
