hard pillows cork mat
The breakfast was acceptable. It had locally sourced food like tea and coffee.
The pillows felt hard and flat. there wasn't a dressing table. I had to stand to dry my hair using a small mirror. the ensuite shower cubicle in the bedroom wasn't ideal, just a small cork mat on the carpet was available.
