fresh air good soap reliable bins
the rooms are near a pub, but also separate ensuring peace I could open my window for fresh air plus the curtains blocked out light well the bins had plastic bag liners that didn't easily fall apart. the shower had super hot water and the soap smelled good I found lots of tables available to use.
the food was too expensive for the quality provided so i think in-house preparation should be improved

damp smell peeling paint
The location was fantastic and very close to the path.
My room smelled damp and looked quite grubby. The windows hadn't been cleaned, and there were bare patches on the bathroom ceiling with peeling paint. Cobwebs were everywhere, and it just felt unclean.
