I guess you shouldn't complain at £24 for a nights B&B in a decent sized room, however when you find the desk in the room coming so apart that nails are showing, a drawer screwed shut, only 1 plug socket in the room, lights above bed not working and that's without me mentioning the worst buffet breakfast I've ever experienced...

Stayed here for one night, room was very basic, in desperate need of redecorating, if you pay full price, more fool you. Breakfast was ok but again basic, poor choice of drinks, coloured water (orange) but no flavour, bacon could have been used as tracing paper
