The place looked quaint, but our room smelt of urine. We could not leave the window open ad there was nothing to secure it to; however our friends room on the very very top floor was lovely, it was sunny, light no smell & had a gorgeous balcony, just what I'd hoped our room would be.

We arrived at the hotel at 12 noon and we were immediately allowed our room (we had prior arranged this via email which... More

This would not be a B&B that I would recommend to anyone. We were not able to get access to the hotel for several hours. We tried to call the hotel many times to let them know that we had arrived.
