Negative Reviews
negative:
Shared bathrooms
While a couple of the rooms here feature en suite bathrooms, the rest of the rooms share a bathroom on the upstairs landing. Guests would prefer privacy in this regard, and wish that all rooms featured en suite bathrooms. Also, guests note that the bathrooms are outdated, and could use some touching up. An example includes flaky paint work on the bathroom walls.
negative:
Limited parking
While the guest house does provide complimentary on-site parking, guests say it is far too limited and that it can be difficult to find a parking space. This is a frustrating nuisance for them.
