helpful staffinadequate ventilationbathroom hairs
the breakfast was acceptable and the staff proved quite helpful.
The room i stayed in suffered from a distinct lack of adequate ventilation, so it was quite stuffy, even with the window open. despite my request, the promised extra pillows never arrived, which caused considerable discomfort. also, i found several hairs in the bathroom. Clearly, cleaning was not thorough.

A Comfortable and Convenient Stay
ample parkingwarm welcomeking-size bed
I found the pub and restaurant combined well with the accommodation. Ample parking made arrival easy. I appreciated the warm welcome at check-in. The room featured patio doors, a sofa, and a coffee table alongside a king-size bed. It really elevated my stay! The bathroom was fantastic. It provided both a deep soak bath and a walk-in shower.
Breakfast started later than I am accustomed to. It began at 08:30. This was a minor inconvenience, given my schedule.
