The double room had a comfortable bed and included clean sheets. towels were provided . It was of a good size, offering enough space to move around , and was clean on arrival.

Dining

The tv provided netflix access , which gave a decent entertainment option , but it wasn't really dining. tesco express next door was convenient . It allowed me to quickly grab essentials without needing to travel far.
