mixed experience , some issues noted

distant parkingdark room
i booked parking because it was listed as a facility , however there was definitely no parking onsite. it was about an 8-minute walk away , costing £20 per 24 hours. i did not pursue the issue , so i skipped breakfast. the window was frosted , the room was quite dark. past 11 pm , i heard loud banging outside , like bottles being put into a bin , and banging from the room next door.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

cute staffmissing bath robesnoticeable dust
The staff were lovely, making the reception area cute.
I was quite let down that the room lacked available bath robes upon arrival. There was also a noticeable amount of dust. I even found a sock from a previous guest under the bed.
