amazing stay just outside the city!!!

friendly staff generous portion lovely decor
the staff were friendly and cute. the food was seriously out of this world, especially the full english breakfast!!! the portion size was more than generous, a proper fuel up for a day exploring. the room had lovely decor, it even had a fan, perfect for keeping cool!!!
The residents entrance definitely needs some love. It felt a bit shabby, which wasn't the best first impression, to be honest.

late breakfast effective soundproofing
The room was clean and had a good stock of tea and coffee.
The breakfast was a big disappointment. It started too late. I also found the room quite noisy. The soundproofing from the street was not effective. I had hoped for a quiet morning, but that was not possible.

The room felt slightly less clean than I expected. There were cobwebs on the windows. I thought the presentation was a bit tired.
