acceptable stay

beautifully decorated suitecheap breakfastbroken toilet seatwarm bed quilt

the minster suite was beautifully decorated. it was comfortable too. the view of the shambles from our room was lovely. breakfast was very cheap, a bonus.

the toilet seat was broken. it was very loose. i reported it on arrival on the first day, but it had not been properly fixed before we departed. no extra summer blankets were provided as the bed quilt was too warm.
