clean roomgood sizecooked breakfastaudible noise

I stayed in the main building after being offered a solo switch from the annex. The room was clean and a good size. Breakfast included all basic choices and cooked options made to order. Staff organized a taxi efficiently upon my checkout.

The ground floor room faced the bins and beer garden. Pub noise was audible until after 2 a.m., and bottle disposal woke me up.
