my room was clean and it had everything i needed. it was spacious and bright and blackout shutters were present at bedtime. this place had one of many original feature of this georgian period building.
the window had a build up of mold. it would have accumulated over a long period of time. there was no staff on site after 7.00 pm until 7.00 am so no one is able to help you with these problems.
