Acceptable Stay with Issues

coffeetea facilitiesnoisy bartough venison steak
The room had adequate coffee and tea facilities along with some toiletries.
The bar proved to be quite noisy and disruptful. Children were shouting and running around the pub. I found it difficult to relax. My food lacked in quantity. I expected more than just a few potatoes and tomatoes. The venison steak also was quite tough to chew.
