Six of us stayed here for a week. The first thing we noticed on entering our
room was how small it was. Our rooms were clean, but the bed cover was stained.
The furniture was really outdated, especially the bathroom, which had a suite and
linoleum on the floor. The ‘shower’ was a hose that you fit onto the taps. The sink
was in the bedroom, right next to the television sockets which seems pretty unsafe
to me. We had dinner there, and it was well-cooked, but we were still hungry
afterwards because the servings were so tiny. The drinks prices were extortionate -
£5 for a small glass of wine. My friend ordered an iced tea and coke, but the
waitress brought him hot tea and apple juice . When we complained, she just
walked off!
