pigeon droppings dirty street

the staff were cute. the facilities met my needs.

the room felt overpriced at £120. pigeon droppings covered the window. the view overlooked a dirty back street creating outside noise. also, excrement stained the curtains, and the shower dispensed only cold water.

thoughtful manager excellent breakfast convenient location

Dean, the manager, was so thoughtful. He opened the bar just for my partner and me. Breakfast was excellent, a delicious start to each day. I appreciated the short walk to the town center, so convenient for exploring.

The shower in our room had some mould, which needs addressing. It did detract a little from the otherwise lovely stay.
