Mixed Experience at this Location

missing fire door berry yoghurt
The room was spacious. This aspect met my basic expectations.
The stairs proved difficult. There was no fire door on the kitchen, and this oversight raised immediate safety concerns. the breakfast menu advertised Greek yoghurt, it instead offered berry yoghurt, this was a disappointment.

Comfortable and Well-Located Stay

extra storage comfy bed morning coffee
The room had extra storage space for clothes and bags. The bed was very comfy (I slept like a baby!). I enjoyed great coffee in the morning.
The bacon was overcooked at breakfast. The sink in the bathroom was too small and a poor design. It kept flooding the side and floor when washing.
