early breakfastrotten frames

The breakfast time was RIDICULOUSLY early, only from 8 to 9 a.m. on a Sunday, annoying. Dampness was under the window in the room. The window frames looked rotten. The cost for the room was not worth it at all.

the staff was friendly and the food in the bar was pretty good (i liked the burger).

my room felt quite outdated with peeling paint near the windowsill (it really needs some upkeep). the carpet seemed a bit grubby, and i definitely wouldn't rate the accommodation as a four-star experience.

The staff members were helpful .

The room was quite disappointing for the price paid. It felt overpriced at £158 per night and had visible mold in the corner of the ceiling. I expected better quality for the amount I spent.
