Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The Somerville was only ten minuits walking distance from the town and we were allocated a parking space at the b n b
Negative: The picture of our bedroom in booking.com was missleading. In reality, the bedroom window overlooked a building that was an eyesore. The owners attempt to improve the view with a picture of palm trees didnt improve the look. Room 9
Summary: Dissapointed
