Charming Stay with Great Food!

The staff were helpful and friendly. I really liked the outdoor seating area. Breakfast was included and cooked to order, so the food was great. There was also a fan available in the room, which I consider a very nice touch, since the weather was warm.
My room was a little warm, even with the fan.

some issues noted, could be better
worn furnitureloose toilet
The room seemed quite dated, and i noticed a significant hole in the carpet near the bathroom. additionally, the toilet rocked quite a bit when i sat on it, a secure fitting is important i think. the shower head wasn't much better. Its eco design meant water pressure was barely there? it took ages to rinse off.

The location was close to friends nearby. The staff provided value for money and convenience for my travel. The beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and I appreciated the warm welcome.
The room itself and the hall smelled very musty. The toilet seat in the bathroom was loose. The toilet finishing needed improvement and the whole space felt dated. I believe there is room for improvements.
