“Nutmeg Guest house”
I liked the hospitality and location. Bed was also very comfortable and clean. I love a clean bed.. A microwave, kettle ( along with tea and coffee) , basin, shower , TV, ect. Were provided. Towels and soap was also provided in the bathroom making it lovely for not having to pack out your bags.

I booked for a double bed but I was given a single bed. The room smells like dump water and there was no tissue paper in the toilet.

The TV made a buzzing sound. I was asked to checkout an hour before checkout time to make room for another guest.

The property and my stay was great. 2 small bits of constructive criticism. The curtains could have been thicker and hung neater. The fan was great but loud.

“Satisfactory for our purposes - a stopover.”
We loved the proximity to where I was working that night. The security is good - there is a remote gate and inside parking. Pretty garden.
