mixed feelings about the inn

relatively clean roomsmall duvetdamp towels
the room was relatively clean, which i suppose is a plus.
my small double room felt cramped (maybe i should have opted for the 'large' small double room?). the duvet cover was too small, a real fight for coverage in the night. radiator issues meant my shower towels stayed damp until morning, not exactly a luxury experience.

mixed feelings about the stay

convenient locationsmall roompoor tv reception
the location was convenient for exploring the area.
i had a less than stellar experience. the room size was shockingly small, barely enough space to move around, and the bathroom lacked proper ventilation, resulting in a damp environment. the tv reception was poor.. it made it difficult to relax in the evenings, disappointing after a long day.
