filling breakfastcramped en-suiteweak shower
the cooked breakfast was acceptable it was filling enough for a day of walking
the room was quite small the en-suite was cramped it seemed like an afterthought squeezed into the space the shower pressure was very weak i barely got wet. the location was also a bit further from town than i anticipated a longer walk than described
