Good value option. The room was functional and clean enough. The shared bathroom was fine. There was a small continental style breakfast provided though the milk was out of date. The house itself is atmospheric. Overall a good stay and would happily return. Microwave also available to prepare ready meals etc.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Lack of hot water. The place is unmanned and wasn’t cleaned throughout our three day stay. The guests in the room next to us kicked off and argued over the lack of hot water and we spent on night listening to them screaming at each other and throwing stuff about. A shame as our room was old but clean on entry. A good area and easy for reaching several sights nearby.

The building is wonderful and unique, it looks like they have let it run down for a few years. The wife found a spider in the bathroom, almost hurt herself getting off the ground, it was a big spider.

It's a lovely place with a pleasant views of the mountains and the garden area. The hot water tap for the bathtub was hit or miss (sometimes it was hot, sometimes cool) and the shower door didn't close all the way. Everything was clean. The staff checked in via email to make sure I had everything I needed, and that check in went okay. The room was spacious with high ceilings. The large bathtub was quite nice. The radiators all worked great. The internet was almost nonexistent, but I had phone service. All in all a good stay. Oh, the breakfast consists of a few basic cereals, with milk and juice in the fridge, and individually wrapped croissants. The coffee is okay, but it is free from an automatic machine. Would I stay here again? Yes. Would I recommend to friends? Yes.

There were no staff, room was clean bit rubbish left in bathroom from previous residents. Breakfast room was ideal but bin was not emptied when crammed full of rubbish. Leftover food in bowl left a couple days, disappointing as cleaning/housekeeping staff clearly not taking care of day to day waste. Made for a disappointing stay.
