Much better options
David was polite and helpful at check in. The WiFi was very poor, it was the worst by far of all our 12 stays. A cheap Amazon mesh system is a simple solution. The room was very cold and when we mentioned this to David after returning from dinner, he said the heat would come on at 10.00pm. We waited in the cold but the heat never came on. We retired under the thinnest of duvets we had experienced and had to put on additional clothes during the night to keep warm. When the heat came on in the morning, the main radiator in the room was only marginally warmer than body temperature after two hours. We cannot recommend this place.

First off, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Really made us feel welcome in the space. The breakfast was great and we had lots of options on the menu to choose from. The room itself was small but the beds were comfortable and the natural light was nice. The bathroom was a bit of a problem — The shower was very small and there was a restriction on how long a shower we could take because it was solar-powered hot water. The water never really got hot, just warm, unfortunately. As well, the toilet in the room flushed strangely and we struggled to figure out how to get it to work at all. That was a challenge. The free WiFi did not work the entire first evening/night we arrived on any of our devices (including other guests we spoke to over breakfast) and was consistently spotty and dropping in and out the whole time we were there. Very slow when connected and often fell off. Not a good place if you won't have data or need WiFi for work. The b&b is a bit far away from the city which made walkability a bit of a challenge if you're not interested in a 30 minute walk just to get there. Would consider driving from accommodation or picking a more centralized hotel next time.
