A very unusual property, being a Victorian estate built into a hillside. It is very easy to get lost at Salomons Estate, so th signage could have been better.
You have to register at reception first before receiving a map to the building that you will be staying in. I found the lady on reception to be less than helpful, but she was better the following morning when I checked out.
I had to ask another guest which building was which as there are several and it wasn't clear where to go - better signage needed. It was there, but facing the wrong direction for me to see it as I was driving in.
My room was very small, but adequate and thankfully had an ensuite,vas I was originally expecting a shared bedroom/ dormitory and a shared bathroom. Thankfully this was not the case.
The room was clean, there was some dirt on one of the walls in the bathroom, but for hostel type accommodation, it was fine.
A nice touch were the earplugs that were provided. I haven't come across that before. The blinds didn't quite fit the windows and you could see daylight around the edges. The shower was great.
As it was quite a steep hill back to reception and breakfast, I drove back to reception.
Nobody offered to show me where breakfast was being served, although I had found this out the night before. Again other guests had to tell me what to do, which was essentially self service.
Anyway, breakfast was varied and good.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay at Salomons Estate and would recommend it. It was also.
