missing telephoneparking inadequacy
I was not pleased that the room lacked a telephone. This omission meant I had to use my personal mobile to contact reception for any issue. The absence of readily available assistance was inconvenient. Also the car park was full on arrival. It necessitated navigating the one-way system multiple times before finding a space.

the receptionist was very helpful upon arrival. i got an email confirmation with the postcode to the car park. breakfast included a huge selection. i liked the percolated coffee.
The plumbing had some issues. The shower barely trickled. i was lucky the bath taps worked, though getting in and out of the bath was a bit of a challenge!
