    The actual bed frame might be a bit too big for the room, I kept banging my thigh on the corners of it. Maybe change the position of the bed to make more use of the room size? The code system is okay, if you are using booking.com then make sure to click on the link in your messages that takes you to the lily rose site. That’s where you get the codes for the doors.

    Location is great, five minute walk into the town. Bathroom was a decent size with good water pressure from the shower. Bed was very comfy if you like a soft mattress. The actual bed frame might be a bit too big for the room, I kept banging my thigh on the corners. Provided tea, coffee and biscuits. Also a hairdryer is provided which is nice.

    Was text messaged by the owner at 1:30am and was told to be quiet? Apparently other stayers were kept awake so why didn’t anyone knock and come have a word? Don’t even know why we were been accused of been to loud?….

    Key code entrance to front door and also the rooms were temperamental. Several other people staying there had the same, so not just us. Shower control was reversed so we thought we had no hot water. Got lucky while playing about and found cold was actually hot. Our friends room toilet did not flush. They had to move room.

    Perfect location. Our room on the top floor had a view of the abbey.

    The hot water took over 5 mins to warm up in the sink and shower. Bathroom was a little dated with a wobbly tap and cracked floor tiles. Shower pressure wasn’t great once it eventually heated up.

    Good location, spacious room, clean, nicely decorated.

    Some of the building was tired in places but this was to be expected to the age of the building but made the building more quirky. For a one night stay it was ideal.

    Great location, easy access. Self check in. Tv in a good position when lying in bed. Had everything you need for a one night stay. Fab complimentary tea, coffee etc.

    There was a little bit of noise during the night and it is a little tatty around the edges

    Cheap and cheerful b&b even though breakfast wasn't needed, the shower was hot the tv worked and the heating of the room was OK which all had some negative reviews, for 1 or 2 nights it's a cheap getaway

    Bit of confusion with access to the room (whether via key or key code) but was a very minor problem and and was resolved quickly with no hassle at all.

    The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. The only issue why it wasn't full marks is that it was an incredibly warm room, which was fine for us with the window open for a breeze but may not suit some. Location wise very good, short walk down to the restaurants, shops and beach.

    When we arrived the whole building smelled strongly of weed. I texted the number given for help just to let them know and heard absolutely nothing back. I understand they can’t control what other people do there but the fact I got no response at all was disappointing. The bed in the room was pretty uncomfortable too, cheap mattress that sloped down in the middle. The heating controls for our room were also located outside the room for some reason.

    Location was good and checkin and checkout were very easy. Free tea, coffee and snacks were a nice addition. WiFi was fast and free. There was a Netflix account on the tv, although it was the cheapest subscription with adverts. Come on guys, you couldn’t get one without ads for the building?

    Struggled to get into the property, we didn’t have any electricity so couldn’t charge phones/watch TV and there was broken furniture for example, a big crack in the mirror.

    Great location and easy to find
