Does not look like photos on the website.Did not answer phone when we were unable to find the place in the photo!No reception area, keys accessed by key safe, they text you the number.Did not see the owner.Should not be classed as a B&B as breakfast not available.Room clean enough.Tea, coffee, kettle, microwave and fridge in the room.The shower could do with some tlc, but plenty of hot water.So much more could be made of the room as there is a door (locked) into a little court yard.There is plenty of parking for the 5 rooms available, but inconsiderate parking by other residents meant I had to park across the road.Unlikely to stay here again.

Unfortunately this was the last time I stayed in this hotel, we hardly slept anything due to noise, the doors are very noisy. Other guests were listening to music and shouting which I understand is not the hotel's fault but they didn't do anything about it, no replies to our messages.
