good-sized roomtea bagfriendly hostwrong roomdirty bathroomrusty towel rail
The room was a good size with many tea bags and milk provided. Check-in and check-out were both convenient. The host was very friendly. I really appreciated that. It was nice to have armchairs in the room to relax in.
The room was not the one I requested. I had confirmation in writing I would get a wheelchair accessible room with a walk-in shower. That was not the case. The bathroom was not clean. The towel rail was dirty and rusty.

I was charmed by the helpfulness of the team! My room was spacious. I also enjoyed a delicious dinner and a lovely pint in the pub. Breakfast was really good!!!
The bathroom was very tired. I saw lots of black mould on the tiles. I wouldn't use the shower, because the silicone was in poor order.

the pub was easy to find with ample parking. my room was located in a separate block just behind the pub. i appreciated the convenience of parking right outside the room's front door. the bed was comfortable ensuring a good night's rest.
