average stay, some issues observed

helpful staffbathroom mouldnon-functional fan
the staff were helpful with drying our gear after a wet day.
the room smelled strongly of mould , likely due to a non-functional fan. the bathroom ceiling had extensive mould. i would have expected better for the price I paid.
