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.

the shower and bathroom was soaked when we got there. plaster was coming from a hole in the ceiling, where a piece of wood had been nailed up with fallen off.

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.
