extensive buffetplastic waterannoying fan
The breakfast buffet was quite extensive, it offered many options. The staff was helpful.
The room was a bit disappointing. It lacked any real comforts. There was no coffee machine, just a bottle of water that cost £1.50 and tasted strongly of plastic. the bathroom fan ran constantly, a bit annoying, don't you think?

The room was bright. It had comfortable beds. I found the staff pleasant. The bathroom was well stocked with face flannels, a nice touch.
The bar closed early. This was disappointing for residents arriving late, wanting a drink. The charge per dog seemed excessive. I thought the room should be properly cleaned between residents anyway. The room had a single chair. This seemed set up for one person instead of a couple.
