cumberland sausage aggressive barman
the room size was acceptable.
the hot dog had cumberland sausage instead of promised american mustard (i thought it was a joke). plates remained uncleared for 40 minutes. the bearded barman was aggressive when i questioned a £2.50 difference in the bill.

adequate stay with minor issues
great location beautiful view helpful staff small room disappointing service thin wall
The location was fantastic, a real plus. my room offered beautiful views over the surrounding area. the staff were lovely. They were very helpful .
My room was quite small considering the price i paid. the food service was a bit disappointing. It didn't quite meet my expectations. i found that the walls were thin, and noise from the hallway was easily heard in my room.
