Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

faulty shower unreliable tv signal

The food in the restaurant was very good for both dinner and breakfast.

The shower did not work at all. The internet connection kept dropping intermittently. The TV signal was also unreliable, resulting in the TV turning off frequently. I felt rather uncomfortable in the bar (it had a strange atmosphere).

garden view english breakfast helpful staff

I stayed in a double room garden view and oh my gosh, the garden view was something else! breakfast was a total win, especially the full english, it was freshly cooked. the staff were lovely. I borrowed a map for a walk up simonside, how great is that?!

The shower wasn't working properly. It was a bit annoying.
