I was going for an open day at the university and they booked me a room at the helmsman, after checking the reviews I was exceptionaly sceptical.

Old fashioned decor, bit of a hike to the top floor, sloping floors and mis-matched furniture but the shower room was newly tiled and kitted out although there's not much space.

We were in a room in a new building built behind the main guesthouse. This was OK as this had been explained to us on the phone. However, we were very disappointed in the finish of the room due to the following:- Light shade was broken - one pane of glass was smashed Curtain pole and curtains were missing! There... more
