freshly cooked breakfastmold showerlumpy pillows
the breakfast was nice and freshly cooked, with lots of options.
The room i had was not the cleanest. there was mold around the shower, and the bedding looked faded. It wasn't even ironed, almost thrown on the bed. the carpet had stains, the pillows were lumpy, and one pillow even had a huge stain. the room decor seemed worn, with peeling paint.

Fantastic stay!
full englishmini fridgecomfy bedmissing towels
The breakfast was AMAZING!!! I really enjoyed the made-to-order full English. Our room included a mini fridge, a nice size TV and a comfy big bed. I appreciated the fact there were no stairs because we got the upgraded room on the ground floor.
I noticed the change of towels did not happen , which lasted for four nights.
