Negative Reviews
negative:
Full breakfast costs extra.
The guest house offers a number of breakfast options including a full continental option, vegetarian options and even a breakfast smoothie option. Guests who enjoy the more traditional full English breakfast spread will, however, have to pay extra.
negative:
Very small en-suite facilities.
Taller or larger guests may need to be aware that the en-suite private bathroom facilities to most of the rooms are very small. With very small shower cubicles and cramped arrangements between the shower stall, toilet and basin, could be quite an awkward and uncomfortable experience.
negative:
Guests required to remove shoes on arrival.
Perhaps a rather strange house rule of this particular guest house, guests are required to remove their shoes upon arrival at the front door. This could prove to be a rather tiresome or awkward encounter, particularly as there is no warning and guests who have travelled far must still remove shoes before gaining access to their room.
