Very poor |Would never stay again, poor value |Rooms need updating |Wi fi is almost non existent |Go elsewhere, I will|It could be a nice place if money was spent on it. The owners should make an effort. The breakfast was OK and the only thing that we can be positive about

Contrary to some reviews, we found this accommodation to be very poor. The breakfast was OK, but the room basic. |The hosts were not helpful, especially Jim. Not like normal hosts of a bed and breakfast |I will never go back and would never recommend. |They seem to only be interested in meals in the restaurant |Shame
