Joanna from Nottingham

United Kingdom

Check-in date:

This is an inexpensive guest house, good for those on a tight budget, looking for a clean place to rest their heads for the night, perhaps before catching the ferry to the continent. The price reflects the dated decor and basic facilities, but we didn't expect anything more for the very reasonable price and overall had a comfortable stay, with a great breakfast to send us on our way.
