mixed feelings about the stay

clean roomawful shower pressureexcessive roadside noise
the room was clean.
the shower pressure was awful. the bathroom was also quite small, and i found it difficult to manoeuvre within the limited space. the noise from the roadside was excessive, it seemed as though the windows were open when they were definitely closed.

the staff were helpful. the restaurant food impressed me. breakfast offered a cheese soufflé, cockles, bacon and laverbread, prepared expertly to achieve a light texture. wines including a primitivo and an alan scott pinot noir added to the experience.
i noticed that the walls and floors were quite thin. i could hear a toilet flushing on the other side of my headboard, disturbing my sleep.
