tiny bedroom hot room
The room was HOT. I saw instructions not to touch any of the controls, SUCH a joke! The bedroom was also TINY. We had to take turns getting past the bed to get into the bathroom. Breakfast wasn't available, though the room notes said we could pre-order it.

A Decent Stay
convenient location clean room friendly staff limited service dining disappointment food unavailability
The location proved convenient for exploring local attractions. My room was clean. The pub had friendly staff. I also found the evening menu in the bar quite decent.
I expected the pub to be open and serving food. I had to travel a few miles for dinner. I would have booked elsewhere if I had known about the food situation beforehand.
