Decent stay in a twin room

friendly welcometea facilitiesquality toiletrieslate breakfastopen doorsdusty lightshade
I stayed one night in a twin room. I received a friendly welcome from the manager. They explained everything and showed me to my room. The room included good tea facilities and great homemade biscuits. The bathroom had a large shower and good quality toiletries.
The breakfast did not start until 9am. The fire doors were propped open with door stops. I thought this was dangerous and contrary to fire safety regulations. It felt very unsafe. The room was basic and needed a good clean. I noticed lots of dust on the lightshade.

lovely stay!

The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave me directions to local attractions. the food was superb, the ham, egg and chips were of high quality. i enjoyed the comfortable room and the peaceful atmosphere at the back of the hotel. the village location suited me well.
the room was advertised as a beautiful double, but it felt fit for single occupancy. the small double bed was against a wall, difficult for one adult to get in and out.
