adequate stay with a couple of issues

dusty room hot water issue

the breakfast was fine (especially the full english).

The shower was difficult to manage. It was either too hot or too cold. i also found dust and cobwebs in the room. A deeper cleaning would help. the hot water lasted only a few minutes.
