Stayed in Room 6 which is a single with en suite shower. It was perfect for a nights stay, and over looks the rear of the property so it's quiet, can recommend for solo travellers. The keyless entry worked OK but I was given the wrong over email, didn't have to wait too long to get it resolved but something that's easy to fix for the management team.

I don't like leaving negative reviews but I felt I have to leave something. When I arrived, there was no sign identifying the name of the house, the house was completely dark with no lights on at all, which was not very welcoming. The owner had not replied to my earlier email regarding late check in, so I was worried it would be too late to check in at 21:00. There are no staff on site. The small single room is in the attic at the top, with a very low doorway to get in (mind your head!). The room is nice enough, but the bathroom bin had not been emptied and was full of used sanitary products from previous guests. There was no bathmat. The room was cold, and there was evidence of damp on the wall next to the bed. At 8am in the morning a stranger knocked on my door.On a positive note, after emailing the owner about this she did reply and was apologetic and amended the bin and bathmat issues. Unfortunately I am still waiting to hear about any compensation that was initially offered. Therefore, I cannot unfortunately recommend staying here until these things are sorted out.

First up: do not, under any circumstances, book a room here. ||Booked a Saturday and Sunday for a friend’s thirtieth. Checked in and unpacked, then another couple showed up for the same room. …

It wasn't great and definitely not 3 stars. The room was recently renovated and modern. However, the room was filled with a rancid smell of smoke, despite it being a non-smoking property. The mattress and duvet were not clean. As there were no staff on site, it was difficult to get an immediate resolution.
