Balanced stay with minor issues

dog treatapple piecomfortable bedemergency lightsleep disturbanceno hot water

The dog received a sausage for breakfast before we could reach the buffet table. I enjoyed the Pork and Apple pie at dinner in the pub. The bed was comfortable.

A light in the room could not be turned off. I believe it was an emergency light. This disturbed my sleep slightly. There was no hot water .
