underwhelming stay

convenient locationbroken toilet seatbathroom mold
the location was convenient for seeing the sights.
the room felt quite dated and lacked proper maintenance. i noticed the toilet seat was broken, and the bathroom had visible mold. fresh air was limited, as the windows seemed to be painted shut.

wonderful experience

generous portionsconvenient parkingbathroom mould
the room included tea and coffee making facilities and well stocked toiletries were available. the evening meal had a wide selection on offer and the portions were generous. i could park outside which was convenient. the rear garden provided a space to sit and reflect on the day's activities.
the bathroom could use an upgrade i noticed some mould. this was also the most expensive accommodation during my trip.
