"The room, number 4 was spotlessly clean, we were provided with a fan, which was needed given the current heatwave and sun screen just in case visitors had forgotten to bring their own."

Acceptable stay, some issues

lukewarm water narrow stairs

I experienced some problems with the hot water (it was lukewarm at best). This was frustrating after a long day. The room size felt smaller than I anticipated from the photos. the stairs were quite narrow, so carrying luggage up was a challenge. These issues impacted the overall experience for me.
