Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast lacks imagination.
Guests hoping for a deluxe, English-style B&B breakfast are often disappointed. Barring a wide selection of herbal teas, guests report that breakfast is fairly straightforward, with toast, cereal and fruit on offer.
negative:
Aging beds prove uncomfortable.
A number of guests have complained of uncomfortable beds during their stay. According to reports, aging beds are well-worn, lumpy and, in some instances, falling apart. Past guests suggest that it'ss time for the existing beds to be replaced.
negative:
Warm accommodations during the summer.
Guestrooms at the B&B
are not equipped with air conditioning. While this isn't an issue for much of
the year, the warmer summer months are said to be uncomfortable at the B&B,
with ceiling fans and standing fans not up to the task of cooling rooms
significantly.
