Mixed feelings About this stay
local produceawkward tv anglepoor communication
The breakfast included local produce of great quality, it was evidently fresh.
The tv in the room was mounted at a 90-degree angle from the bed, i couldn't watch it comfortably. There wasn't enough communication about restrictions for children in the pub area. This information should HAVE been shared before arrival. i found this quite inconvenient
