acceptable room sizepeeling plastermusty smell
The room size was acceptable for my needs.
My room felt damp. I noticed the plaster was peeling in the bathroom (it looked like it would fall any minute). The room also had a musty smell. It could do with some airing.

Excellent Value and Helpful Staff

lovely selectionoat milkfriendly staffsmall room
the breakfast had a lovely selection of meats, cheeses, toast and cereals. i liked the oat milk option as a thoughtful touch. the staff were informative and friendly. they cooked breakfast in a timely fashion.
i noticed the double room felt small, and one bed blocked access to the bathroom. i found this layout inconvenient, impacting movement within the room.
