The property frontage said it all. Scruffy, unwelcoming, broken window taped up, general air of neglect. Inside much the same. no carpet on stairs, everywhere thick with dust, dirty windows. Smell of Chinese cooking pervaded, and smokers in one room. Despite confirming in email confirmation, breakfast was not included, a relief in fact. The place in need of some TLC ie total refurb. On a positive there was car parking and a great bus service. land lady possibly shri Lankan, pleasant enough. Bedding and bathroom clean enough, though toilet seat broken and no slip mat.
