friendly staff tasty meal missing extras no conditioner

The staff were very friendly. Breakfast offered several options that were not just a full English. I booked a meal at night. It was also very good.

The room was described as beautiful, though it was not a 4 star hotel. There were no extras. No shower cap, tissues, or hair conditioner.

double room ironing board lovely bar breakfast choice

my double room was sufficient for my short stay. i found an ironing board and iron readily available, useful. the bar downstairs was lovely and i noted the restaurant menu offered plenty of choices. the breakfast included cereals, juice, yogurt, fruit, a full english option, pancakes, toast, tea, and coffee.

i noticed no lift, which could be problematic with mobility issues.

ample parking parking space moldy en-suite damp en-suite

The restaurant had a good selection and the parking space was ample.

I was so upset when the room was not up to par. Damp and mold plagued the en-suite. It needs refurbishment. The kitchen staff yelled and cursed, ruining the quiet I craved.
