nice breakfast friendly staff soaked bathroom falling plaster

The breakfast was really nice. It was served with a smile, a good start to the day. The staff were friendly and the menu for food was extensive and good value.

lovely staff full english breakfast comfortable room faulty toilet freezing room non-functional radiators

the staff was lovely, really! i had a superb full english breakfast. the room was warm and comfortable. the shower worked well.

the toilet didn't flush properly (i had to flush multiple times). the room was freezing when i arrived, so i asked if she could put the heating on. none of the radiators worked, so the room remained ice cold.
