Alabare Guest House

Location was within easy walking distance of all the historic sites that we wanted to visit, including the cathedral. The Staff kindly let us leave our car at the premises. Continental breakfast was excellent with plenty of food and choice in a nicely laid out dining area. The Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

The room and premises are very tired and basic and would benefit from an update. Our room had no running hot water from the basin tap and a weak shower. The bed was very uncomfortably soft which resulted in broken sleep. Very rusty towel fittings and no hairdryer. The kettle had to be plugged in on the floor using a socket away from where 'makings' were on a tray. Lots of main road noise. We would not wish to stay here again.

No parking, arranged a early check in online however when I turned up there was no parking-available. The car park was full, a member of the staff told me to park my car on the street. I managed to get a space some 400meters away, however I was lucky to even get that The room was comfy however you couldn’t take a step without the floorboards making one hell of a noise, and it was like this throughout the room.
