a decent experience.

friendly stafffull breakfastlarge bedroomcold roomdusty floorwarm radiator

The staff members were friendly. i found the full english breakfast to be great value. the large bedroom included two arm chairs. It was nice.

The room was quite cold. the radiator in the bedroom was barely warm, and it switched off overnight. also, the bathroom floor had dust in the corners. That was not ideal.
