Location is good, the staff is friendly and attentive. It's just that the wifi was not working and it was the main thing I needed because I work late. I arrived late at night so I did not bother to ask the staff. I had to use my mobile data instead which can be quite inconvenient. Other than that, it was all good.

The WiFi signal was so weak it was practically nonexistent. The blanket had some black lint on it, but the service was quite good, and breakfast was included.

Although the environment is old, the facilities are complete, and the price is reasonable. The receptionist was very friendly and opened the door to greet me even though I arrived very late at night.

The price is proportional to the quality. The boss is very nice and always ready to help. The breakfast is good and the chef is very warm. We went out for lunch and brought our own sandwiches. The chef helped to toast the toast and wrapped it in tin foil for us!

Terrible experience. We were greeted by a male receptionist (Sundeep was his name I believe). He asked for the name of the booking, then gave us the room keys. We went to the room and fell asleep at 10 pm. At around 10.40 pm the same receptionist came to our room and woke us up. He knocked and shouted that he does not see the reservation. My mother asked if this could wait till the morning. He said no. Half-asleep, I dressed up and showed the ******* confirmation. He nodded and went away. However, I did not feel safe to do so - what kind of hotel/BnB does such things? Surely the receptionist could have checked everything before handing us the keys or at least wait till the morning, as this was during the legal non-disturbance time. I am not sure if he was drunk or simply careless, inconsiderate and violating the guest-host agreement. The walls were thin, we could hear what other guests were doing next door which did not help to fall asleep. Could not take proper shower due to outdated shower head and insufficient water flow. No hot water out of our bathroom tap. Insufficient amount of hand soup. Both my mother and I are vegans. The BnB advertises that they provide full English breakfast. Fine, we were not expecting big effort to cater for us, as it's a small BnB. We asked the lady who was serving breakfast to just omit the meat and eggs. But the scarce amount of other ingredients clearly stayed the same as in the usual meal. Ok but maybe not the most welcoming thing?

Positives: bed linen was clean and nicely presented, breakfast was well cooked and good ingredients, filter coffee was good. Negatives: no wardrobe or hanging space, toilet/wet room was tiny (1m2), sink plumbing leaked, unnecessary kitchen sink in room(?) and general decor was poor.
