  I stayed for 4 nights. My room was never refreshed. Coffee, tea and milk were never replaced, waste bins were not emptied, the bathroom towels were left in the shower, waiting to be replaced, but were not, despite leaving the appropriate notice on my door - "My room is available for cleaning." The filth behind the bathroom door was something totally unexpected. It had not been cleaned there for months; it was like tumbleweed blowing around. Portable Electrical Appliances had no "Passed Electrical Safety Test labels on them. Whilst it is not a legal requirement to PAT test appliances, the Health & Safety in the Workplace Act applies, and states the obvious, that no-one should be at risk of injury or dearth from faulty equipment........ This was pointed out to the owner/manager who said that the appliances were tested every year. They were not, because they did not carry the appropriate safety tested label. As a PAT tester who works for charity outlets, testing electrical appliances before sale, I can safely say that the portable electrical appliances in this inn have not been tested, and so put both staff and guests at risk.
  All in all a most disappointing 4 days. If you like to get out of bed on a freezing morning and shower in a refrigerated bathroom, then this is the place for you. The heating will come on after your shower. Well it makes sense if you are a landlord who is cutting costs!
