After our first nite, when we came down for breakfast the next morining which was fairly dodegy looking, to say the least, we were quite intimated by the new unionists flags that were put up, over nite.We were given several dirty looks, and the owners pals who seemed to just happen to call over the previos nite did seem to be eye balling us. For this day in age i was very fearful for my safety and we ended up leaving that morning and luckily enough found other accom somwhere else for that nite.
