Horizon B and B

The location. Comfy bed with clean linen

The hotel is run down, shabby & dirty. Reception is not staffed all the time & when you call the contact numbers no one answers. Parking is a nightmare to find & costly. We knew there was no lift but do not stay if your mobility is not good as there are steep, narrow, dark staircases throughout. There are some ground floor rooms but the dining room is down a steep narrow staircase. Our room was small & the "en suite" was tiny. You had to sit sideways on the loo because of the position of the sink unit. The sink unit leaked so the floor was wet every time the tap was run. We didn't even attempt to use the tiny, dark shower cubicle There was an unmarked lip that all 3 of us tripped up as you entered the bathroom. The sliding door to the bathroom was only held in a runner at the top & could be flapped about. There was a mirror placed over a hole in the door. There were no toiletries, very little loo roll & no hairdryer or ironing facilities either. There was a stained table & 3 metal garden chairs in the bay window area. There was a small hanging rack with half a dozen coat hangers but no other storage for clothes. There was a small shelf under the TV with the kettle & tea etc. Had to put the kettle on the floor to use it because of where the only socket was & could only be filled using a glass because it wouldn't fit under the tap in the basin. The beautiful old sash windows were screwed shut, black with mould & ran with condensation so the only way you could see what is a good view was to keep wiping the windows. I cannot tell you what breakfast is like because when we went down the steep, uncarpeted, stairs to the dining room we found it locked & in darkness & no sign of anyone preparing breakfast. This was at 8.15, breakfast was meant to be served between 8am & 9.30am. Yet again reception was unmanned & no one could be reached by phone.
