Mixed Feelings about This Inn
ceiling leak useless lock
The breakfast was quite good. It was fresh and quickly prepared.
The room felt a bit neglected. Water dripped from the ceiling next to the bed during a rain shower. the lock on the door seemed useless, I think someone could easily kick it in!

amazing location lovely breakfast pointless lock poor service
The location was amazing. The employees were very cute, yes they were. Breakfast was lovely and filling. I stayed again, and I would!
The room's lock, it was pointless. I could kick the door in really. The staff was not that interested in good service. I seemed like just another punter and not really a guest, believe me.
