average stay, some issues
overpriced drink weak taste
the room had a large tv, a feature i did appreciate.
The shandy i ordered cost nearly £8. It felt overpriced and underwhelming. it tasted watered down, and a full pint of estrella was actually cheaper. next time, i won't order any mixed drinks.

comfortable bed convenient bus stop late bar drinks friendly staff
The room featured a comfortable bed ensuring a restful night. A convenient bus stop was nearby. I was served drinks at the bar, even returning late from an evening out. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly.
The restaurant's fish dish caused some discomfort afterwards.

The room included tea and coffee making facilities. I found an iron and hairdryer in the wardrobe. The pub downstairs had a nice atmosphere and served great food.
The menu did not mention that marmalade ham was unavailable. I had to wait for a pint of Guinness because a clean glass was not ready. Some portions of sticky toffee pudding had less toffee syrup.
