“Well Below Average”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

Upon arrival at the B & B, we were greeted with a stale cooking oil smell, it reminded me of a chip shop. The smell permeated throughout the building. The bedroom (9) is extremely dated, It is also the smallest en suite ever. the furniture was mismatched & well past it's best. Unfortunately the decor is no better, it is desperately in need of a redec throughout. The beds have also seen better days, the bedding & towels while clean have definately seen bettter days. One of the beds even had the fitted single sheet put on inside out, a definate lack of attention to detail throughout !!! The only positive thing about our stay was, the cooked breakfast that was served to us, it was first class. Unlike the our stay!!

“Girls nite out”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

We stayed here a couple of weekends ago. A family room for us 3 girls was £65 . Which we thought was average. We didn't get up for breakfast as we had a late nite. There was no hurry for us to vacate our room iether. We also left our car in the car park all day whilst we went of to look at the city. What a lovely place with lovely people what mire could you want.

“NOT 'SHIP SHAPE' !!!!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2010

Booked a room by telephone..........
Arived at designated time to a smell of stale cooking fat. The owner was not overly friendly and gave us a bunch of keys to access our room and a shower room/toilet outside of our room and a very short walk along the passage. The room was very strange....let me explain........The wallpaper reminded mr of my grannies house in the late 1970s 'Peach and floral' no sign of anything to do with the SEA ! The bed was a small double and had seen better days and was not comfortable in any way. There was a light fitting above the bed with 3 x bulb holders,only one of which had a bulb in it,this was also a fan...we dare not try to turn this on as the pull cords were wound round the fitting. The bed linen was clean .....BUT one of the 2 small towels provided had brown marks on it when I unfolded it 'ugh!!' Good job I had packed my own large bath towels (Bonus) The room was heated to a very uncomfotrably high temperature and we needed to try to sleep with the window open. This was not good as the noise from passers by was at an all time high !
The Bathroom was large and roomy,but what let it down was again attention to detail...No glass for use when cleaning teeth......no light over shower stained and sad looking carpet and outdated basin and shower.
The only good part of our stay was breakfast it was hot and was tasty although a little greasy. I feel that the owners should pay more attention to detail...especially with regards to towels and carpets etc. You may say that at £50 for a night we are being picky (I don't think so!) the reputation of an establishment like this is worth building on....you could make this a special place to stay with a little bit of attention to detail.
And a theme that would make you feel that you were in an Admirals residence.
Another pluss point is the car park.
