This was a great place to stay it was cheap and also very clean, the olde world ambience was just right for an old building like this. The owner was very knowledgeable and his humour fantastic. The other comments were nothing like described. The breakfast was as much as you like which suited my wife as she was pregnant. The... More

I wish I’d read the previous review by Heinlager before I stayed here. He couldn't be more right - the owner is an absolute bigot. His pastimes include flaunting his xenophobia, and collecting endangered animals to stuff or skin and display on his walls. He seemed to have an especial dislike of the Irish as he spent the duration of... More

This is the worst place me and my partner ever stayed. The bed was so creaky that everytime we rolled over we woke ourselves up. The owner who served breakfast is the most bigoted man I ever met. During breakfast he proceeded to discuss with us who he thought was the worst nationality to have stay. We also had the... More
