Having read the reviews before my arrival - the office had picked the hotel - I feared the worse. And yes the building does need some serious work, speaking to the owner he said he hoped to get permission to expand the place.
But I have nothing but good things to say about the owners and staff, they were very friendly and helpful. They were very casual with a "take us as you find us" approach which some guests may find odd for a hotel but nothing like the nightmare that some other reviewers portrayed.
The food was good and they were prepared to cook what you wanted, at breakfast (large enough to get me through the day) they'd ask what do you fancy for tea and sure enough they would prepare it for you on your return.
