This place is in a very nice location. It’s a rather old building that’s been added onto over the years. Decor is a little dated and tired but overall it would have been comfortable except that we were freezing cold the entire time.
We arrived around 3 pm to check in. I tried to turn the heat on in our room but nothing happened. With temps in the mid 40’s, we were uncomfortably cold in our room.
I asked about the heat and in was told that it’s on a timer, it’s off all day and only turned on in the evening. She said she would turn it on since we were cold.
We went for dinner, thinking the room would be warm by the time we were back. The radiators were still ice cold.
Back to the front desk, she comes to look at it and calls the plumber. Are said he would be there in 30 minutes.
Long and short is, they came to our room around 9 pm and brought us a little space heater. That took about another hour. So 7 hours after our arrival, we were finally comfortable in our room.
The operator told me that it’s too expensive to pay the oil bill, so they don’t turn the heat on. We’re Irish, she said, it doesn’t bother us. So now I was feeling like she called me a stupid American on top of it.
If you don’t mind being cold, this place will do. But we’re here tonight in another B&B, paying half as much and WAY more comfortable.
