breakfast qualitythermostat malfunction
The room was too hot even i turn the thermostat down. i am glad there was a switch i use to turn it off. breakfast wasn't good. the times were not clear. One day they say 10:30, but at 9:30, food started disappearing. the english breakfast had nothing left, and the price felt too high for what i got.

Impressed with the amenities and staff

accommodating staffwell-stocked barlocal village
The staff were very accommodating and friendly. I appreciated the well-stocked bar, perfect for a relaxed evening. The hotel is near a local village, and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon walk.
Housekeeping did not top up the coffee sachets. There were excessive decaff sachets and no regular.

comfortable bedpaper napkinsmediocre food quality
the room was clean and the bed was comfortable enough.
the restaurant proved disappointing . i found the atmosphere similar to a fast-food hotel, lacking tablecloths and offering only paper napkins. the food quality was mediocre at best (the chef should reconsider using all that garlic!). this did not meet the standards i expect, especially considering other options in the area.
