A stay with some drawbacks
excellent breakfast cheerful staff early check in stale air noisy boys disruptive horseplay
THE breakfast was excellent and very generous. THERE was so much on offer as well as lots of cooked options. The staff were very cheerful in accommodating guests. WE arrived early along with another group and were allowed to check in.
THE room hadn't been aired , so there was a smell of stale air. IT was cool. MY sleep was disrupted by a group of very noisy boys. THEY seemed to be involved in a bit of horse play in the corridors.

delicious breakfast custom order nip notch stale air noisy boys horse play
dennis took such good care of us during breakfast. breakfast was delicious and he made it so custom for some of us when we had to leave in a rush one day. everything was nip notch!
the room hadn't been aired, so there was a smell of stale air and it was cool. my sleep was disrupted by a group of very noisy boys that seemed to be involved in a bit of horse play in the corridors that went on for about 20 minutes. maybe to be expected in a youth hostel, but not a b&b.
