Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Had a one night stay with my dog. Had a single room, quite small, but with en-suite. Some of the stairs and hallways were in much need of redecorating. Overall really good value for money, although some areas looked a bit ‘tired’ linen was clean & bed comfortable. All in with Bed & breakfast better than camping & not much dearer. Would definitely go back.

would definitely stay here again
Would describe the place as "quaint", a bit run down (condition of bathrooms, floors) but also well cared for and clean (bedding/towels). Im certain all rooms differ, but we happened to have a lovely view out the window. Centrally located in Merose, friendly and accomodating staff. Included breakfast had a variety of options. Slept comfortably, would definitely stay here again.

Waste of money, find better
Really bad service throughout, on this our second stay here. I reserved an evening meal table and understand the staff were busy due to a wedding party, but we are all customers and deserve to treated the same. Food was not as I would have expected. Certain members of staff were polite, but others just impolite and it was obvious they were stressed due to the workload. Breakfast here is a complete shambles. As the state on arrival its between 8 and 9 but again the staff cannot cope. you queue for hot water for the tea and coffee machine which takes it seems 3 minutes a cup and when trying to get 2 cups it seems longer. When the breakfast you ordered does arrive its around 45 mins and cold, I sent mine back only for another 5 minutes wait, it actually came back colder. I just left in disgust. Save you money, there is easily better

Helpful staff but overpriced accommodation
The staff were very helpful and obliging and the food was very nice. However, both my bedroom and bathroom were small and overpriced in comparison to other b&b’s that I have stayed in.
