Average inn. Bed was not super comfy. Split system in the room, small TV with a couple channels. Shower is okay good water pressure. The water is not drinkable but they provide bottled water. Lots of bugs. Food was nice at the pub but little/no vegetarian options. Staff were lovely.

In one of the annexes. It was very tired and needed a refit. Initial impression was poor: up some narrow outside stairs, with a torn carpet, which obviously hadn't been vacuumed for many a day. Key kept jamming in lock, and was very difficult to open door. Inside the room every effort had been made by the staff, and the room was clean and tidy. However, all was dated and tired. Did not use the resturant. The receptionist was very helpful, and did agree the rooms needed refurbishment. It served us OK for one night; but what can you expect for the (cheap) price we paid?

Bedroom and bathroom were very tired and in need of some deep cleaning and redecoration. The bed was very comfortable and the view was exceptional. The restaurant was somewhat disappointing with its limited and somewhat overpriced menu. However the food was good and Owen behind the bar provided excellent service.
