40£ pp rather than 48£ and a softer bed would have given this 5 stars.
Single bed room with shared bathroom was overpriced yet cheapest I could bloody find.

Room was clean fresh and does have fridge n microwave....not as I needed them as bnb is 3 mile outta town. Presume all rooms have em...I'd just put em in a selected few rooms. Nice to see though

The place seemed alright in the pictures but it was nothing like that. When we arrived there was nobody to check us in. We had to wait pitside for a bit. Then, someone who didn't speak English gave us a key to a room and that was it. When getting into the room we realised it wasn't properly cleaned. There was stuff from the previous people who stayed there (an open juice in the fridge, lip balm in the toilet and stained tissues), the towels weren't clean, the bathroom had stains all over the mirror and the shower door as well, as hairs everywhere, the bathroom mat was disgusting and seemed like hasn't ever been washed, dirt under the bed, and so on.
Never coming again, wouldn't recommend it at all.

I had booked 3 room in the guest house. The heating system of my room was not working which caused my partner to get sick and rather than having a relaxing night it turned into disaster as the cold got us. I called the service number 3 times to inform them about this matter and they said it will be fixed but never fixed it. One of the room (room 7) was a kitchen and a bed was placed in that room and was being used for the guests. I will upload the picture of that room. Worst night and most unpleasant experience ever out of all the guest houses i have stayed in.

The room was good for the price we paid. There was an incident of a drunk man (another guest) banging on the door all night where the police were called. Our room was right next to the main door.
Unfortunately, we selected the option for a quiet room and still got a room right next to the main door due to people coming through in the night while talking loudly.
