Satisfactory Stay

convenient accessnice spotquieter experienceshoddy fitting

The location provided convenient access to family. I found a nice little spot for accommodation. I appreciated the rooms were separate from the pub area. This separation helped ensure a quieter experience. The price of the room was suitable, the food available in the pub was delicious.

I noticed some shoddy fittings in the room. Some fixtures felt loose, some was broken. I found that the water temperature in the bathroom fluctuated. I observed that the bath leaked, I tried to use it.
