warm welcome tasty breakfast tiny bathroom mildew shower
I enjoyed a very warm welcome from the landlord. Excellent beers were on tap, and the breakfast was tasty. The pub reminded me of a true authentic English pub!!!
The bathroom felt very tiny. The shower seemed not very modern and had a lot of mildew. I think, more attention to cleanliness is needed.
