comfortable bed easy access outdoor seating no hot water faulty wifi cold room
the bed was comfortable. i could access the room without needing to go through the pub. there was an outside area where i could eat takeaway food, if the weather permitted.
there was no hot water in the bathroom in the evening. the wifi code was not accepted, therefore i had no internet. the room was cold at night and there was not enough warm bedding.
