Mixed feelings

Liked: No reception as such, so we phoned the owner who arrived very promptly to show us to our room. Our room was nicely decorated and with a gorgeous and very spacious bathroom. Comfy bed. Good parking just around the corner.
Disliked: Poor first impressions, the stair carpet was very worn and grubby. As access is through a yard and up a steep staircase, a bit more attention to making this a welcoming space would be worthwhile. It was an exceptionally hot day, the fridge in the room was empty, no bottle of water and on closer inspection wasn't even switched on. There was nowhere to sit comfortably and no desk/table to work at.

Not very good, will not...

Liked: Location was great. Room was clean and the bed was comfy.
Disliked: I didn?t like much to be honest, it is missing many of the amenities that is should have, seeing as it is listed as a luxury room. Toiletries were advertised? we had half full bottles of body lotion and also hand wash in the shower and on the sink, no other items, ie shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, tissues, etc were provided. Slippers were advertised? we had none. We had to programme the TV so we could watch it. One bedside lamp did not work. Two of the bulbs in the main light did not work. The advertised tea/coffee maker was a kettle and only one sachet of ordinary sugar was supplied. There were no glasses in the bathroom? nowhere to put our toothbrushes. Only three hangars provided in the wardrobe. It might sound like I?m behind picky, but these are basic items and should definitely be provided in a luxury room. Room was also very small and stuffy. Upon asking about a vegetarian breakfast, the only options offered were porridge or a mushroom omelette.

Passable

Liked: Good location for access to the city. Easy to park with Pay & Display very close by.
Disliked: Not particularly clean. Staff a bit abrupt and you need to pre-order breakfast the day before. Sausages weren't cooked in the middle. Room had a damp smell.

Liked: location near the cathedral.
Disliked: poor facilities Room had not been checked ie bathroom mirror light didn?t work, there was a rug at the bottom of the bed which curled up at the ends and when taken up revealed a big awful stain, this carpet was a disgrace in my opinion, the tv remote did I not work. new batteries were required, the windows were dirty but none asked if we had any problems.
