The room smelt of damp. The wall in the bathroom, was visibility damp. Breakfast was very poor quality. The lady serving started arguing, when I asked about the wrong flavour of tea being served, and she still got the breakfast order wrong, dispite, asking several times and writing it down. The place was clean, but very tired. I dont expect to be told breakfast was at eight o'clock, however on stating that this was too early, a later time was agreed . I would not return

Staff were friendly but not really that engaged The room we had needed to be changed as the heating was stuck on full blast but this was done with no issues at all Nice big room, nothing else really stood out Didn't have breakfast
