Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms on the small side
Guests felt that some of the rooms here aren't as large as they would have liked. For those with a lot of luggage it proved slightly challenging finding space for everything. Also, guests mention that the rooms might benefit from a touch of redecoration and renovation in places.
negative:
Rooms get hot at times
Since this b&b doesn't feature any form of air conditioning, guests did notice it can get quite hot during the night. In order to help address this problem, the owner can supply electric fans upon request.
negative:
Can get noisy
On occasion, guests were disturbed by traffic noise coming from the road outside. While this is mitigated slightly by keeping the window shut, it does mean that the rooms don't benefit from cool air during the hot months.
