accommodating staffpoor showermissing toiletries
The staff were accommodating enough I have no complaints there
The shower was not good it had very little pressure I could barely rinse off soap. The room also had no cups for hot drinks or toiletries as advertised that was irritating. I expect basic amenities when I book a room I don't want to have to ask for everything

the room was large. both the bedroom and the en suite were super clean. all the staff went the extra mile to ensure i enjoyed my stay. the staff provided recommendations for nearby dinner locations, so helpful.
the bathroom felt freezing cold, and the radiator was not working! i stayed in the rooms outside the pub itself. a damp smell was noticeable in the room, and there was no mat at the door, causing the carpet to get wet.
