some issues i found

extra chargeexposed bathroom
I was a bit annoyed that breakfast was extra. i thought bed and breakfasts always included it in the price! also, they wanted us to take our shoes off even after using the doormats. the robes weren't even in the room. They were in the bathroom, exposed for everyone. that wasn't private at all.

The breakfast was not included in the price, it was an extra charge. also, i had to remove my shoes after wiping my feet on two doormats! there was no milk in the room when i returned from town, so i couldn't have tea. the dressing gowns were in the bathroom, not the bedroom. It was a little inconvenient!
