Pros: Sehr netter Gastgeber . Große Dusche , auch für füllige Menschen top . Es gibt einen separaten Raum um gelieferte Speisen zu essen . Lecker Cider und Guinness im Pup - nur ein paar Stufen entfernt . Bequeme Betten . Cons: Das Frühstück war etwas spärlich , eine Scheibe Käse oder Wurst wäre schön gewesen . Aber es genügt um nicht hungrig in den Tag zu starten .
