An old property located just on the shoreline at the most central place possible. Both staff members i came across were exceptionally nice and accommodating.

Walking the SW Path we stayed here overnight. The rooms were basic but did the job and were reasonably priced. It’s no frills but it doesn’t claim to be

Staff were lovely and the room had a couple of extra touches I wasn’t expecting like bottles of water. The only thing that I would say tainted the stay was that I couldn’t turn the heating off in the room and with the room being small and at the top of the building, it was so, so hot. Other than that, great.

The single room was an attic room with an apex ceiling only 5 foot 10 inches high.
One velux window covered with a filthy curtain frayed at the edges, no sink or any other facility in the room, the shared bathroom was two seperat w..c's and a shower room one floor down. There was inadequate hand holds on the final staircase which made it very difficult for an 80 year d to manage especially with luggage.

Room was unfortunately grubby upon arrival, room was dusty, the bedding had clearly been used (hairs and stains on the bedding). This was brought to the attention of the landlord who didnt apologise but did offer to change the bedding when we went out. When we returned the bedding had not been changed, but a bag with fresher sheets had been placed outside the door.
Another thing to note was that the milks supplied with the tea and coffee were mostly >1 month expired.
The bed was thankfully comfortable, but overall the lack of cleanliness was concerning, especially at £70 for one night.
