"It was good"

"Great people. Nice rooms. "

"For what it is, this is a nice characterful country home stay with strangers. However, it is not what I expected from the description on Expedia. Firstly, from a British perspective, this is not a ‘bed and breakfast’ but a hostel. The booking only includes bed, there is no personal welcome but a text message with access code for the electronic door, and other guests hadn’t received theirs so had to wait a long time for acvess. Breakfast is an additional £7 and consisted of a meagre portion of meat left in the fridge under cellophane, with ‘make your own’ coffee, cook your own eggs and wash your own dishes. Give that there are 5 rooms and up to a dozen people the communal areas got crowded and awkward very quickly. The host was nowhere to be seen until it was time to take payment for the breakfast. In addition, the room is not accurately described. I booked a pair of “double queen bed garden view” but got rooms with twin old creaky single wooden beds pushed together, and a view of a gravel yard with out-buildings and scaffoldings. Half the ‘highlights’ mentioned and photos shown were in a shared common area, somit is nit just the bathroom that is shared. As stated at the start, this not a bad place; but it not at all what was described or expected under the listing’s heading, and customers should be better informed about what to expect and what they are actually booking "
