A mixed bag, sadly

loud noisesmall portions

Our dog-friendly room was right next to the reception area. This meant lots of people walked to and fro. My dog barked most of the night because of that. The evening meal also disappointed. The spaghetti bolognese was bland. It tasted like it came from frozen mince, sadly. The portion sizes were not big, either.
