Everything. view staff. The location is what attracted us and it is lovely. traffic when having to walk by the road. managed to access the walks quite quickly. thankfully. The pillows. Given room that needed refurbishment and therefore was over-priced for the quality of the accomodation. Felt a bit cheated as the website didn't show this room, only the refurbished ones. Old fashioned wallpaper, aged honey pine units and bathroom with tired fittings. This room (Room 9) should be at a reduced rate until it is refurbished. Nothing. Not being able to stay longer!. Nothing to complain about!. Some the rooms are looking a little tired, but refurbishment works are being made gradually. A small point, it would have been good to have a bowl of fresh fruit on offer at breakfast. Nothing really, but having a bad hip I found the bed a tad too firm for me. Nothing. Nothing (except the weather!). Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. decor a bit old fashioned. The food was ordinary, limited choice, not too hot at times and the portions were small. You could hear the noises from the room above and plumbing noises. Nothing. No draught beers in the bar. Our room was next to the kitchen and we could here some kitchen noises such as water running. This wasn't a major concern. Nothing. Nothing !. Cups were small both for tea and coffee. Our room was only what we have experienced at B&B prices and was disappointing for extra we payed. The food was again only average so we felt that in paying more than we would usually at good B&Bs we gained nothing. When we returned from the Theatre at only 10.30 pm the whole place was in darkness including the car park making it very difficult to walk to the back door which we had been instructed to use.
