Every other place I have stayed provides shampoo and shower gel, not here. Every other place was an en-suite, not here (I should have checked the listing better). Worse still, the bathroom is actually just a shower cubical with not nearly enough space to get changed or dry which leads to an embarrassing dash back to your room hastily covering your modesty with a clean, but only too small towel.
I have actually stayed twice before at this place, but had an en-suite each time, so I made the assumption. Still, it wasn't totally clear when booking (maybe stating 'shared bathroom' would help).
The decor is tired and dull. There was a sink in my room, however, the shaving light cover had melted and the carpet was not totally clean. There was too much furniture in the room and was badly positioned with a double and single bed leaving little room for manoeuvre. A little more insulation between rooms would be of great benefit after a night of listening to the neighbouring TV blaring through the wall. Overall, I am less than impressed this time.
Was it just the particular room I had and the experience of shared facilities? What price did I pay? £30.00. so maybe, I just payed the right amount for what I received. This is why I go to a b&b in the first place: Value for money. So I'll put up with all the above because this place isn't pretending to be the Ritz. Just don't forget some shampoo when you stay here.
