4/10 Fair

Bordering on terrible. Who writes the reviews - friends & family of the owners? Two stars rather than one as the room was a good size, the laundry facilities were great and the breakfast was nice. But basic in the extreme with no hands towels or tissues, loo that was difficult to flush and the killer: isalmost next to atraintrack and the noisy poo rt.
