Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not that good, I'm afraid. Supply system of water to the showers was so bad, the hot and cold water is on and off. This can cause harm to the travellers. Rooms are not cleaned, sheets not changes. Please if this is how the B&B is operated, then it must be stated so when advertising so that travellers can be prepared to clean the rooms themselves and take sheets for laundry so you can have clean sheets daily.
