B&B a Holy Island

“Such a shame- could have been 5 star!! Internally the room was great, very comfortable and modern BUT from outside looked dreadful- dirty windows, dead window boxes and number missing from the door. Was very inconvenient, having to go out and buy tea & coffee ( I had asked before we travelled and was assured it was provided.) I draw the line at having to buy loo roll !! Attention to detail needed!”

“Faultless. Perfect holiday. Thank you.”

“It was fine for an overnight stay. However we both found the beds very uncomfortable. Nice enough bar and friendly locals.”

“Disappointing from start, exterior not welcoming and garden neglected. First time we used the shower the door fell off, reported it to the host who said it’s always doing it.

Our room could also be seen from a public area (a small corridor from the main bar to the beer garden) which is not good especially for a woman. The hosts went out of their way to find us...

“Room was clean, but mould/mildew in bathroom. No wifi. Bit of a trek into town but it’s a nice walk, uphill on the way back. Lady downstairs was lovely. Definitely lots of noise coming from the pub when you’re trying to sleep. Cheap accommodation, you pay for what you get.”

“Hotel was nice however the host insisted my colleague paid her direct in her account even this had been paid for via Hotels.com”
