Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

The bed was very comfortable.
My room was too warm because the radiator was on. The fridge also did not work, and I found that quite inconvenient. I am disappointed.

i found ample parking directly in front of the building and appreciated the convenience. the owner greeted me and a friendly dog was there as well! breakfast included various options, prepared promptly, and proved quite satisfying before my departure.
i thought that the sink in the bedroom made a gurgling noise during the night.

good locationhelpful hostwarm roomfaulty fridge
i am happy about the location near the racecourse. the rooms provide all the essentials for a good stay, i think. if i needed anything, i believe tracey would help.
The room got hot! we asked for a fan because the radiators were on so high. This was awful. the shower water was lukewarm, and the fridge didnt work properly.
