helpful staff convenient location well kept hotel small room cramped shower extra parking

The staff was very helpful . The location is quite convenient, near the town centre. The cleanliness was also noticeable. The hotel was well kept.

My room was quite small. The shower felt very cramped. Parking cost extra, at £10 per night. If I had booked directly, parking would have been free.

careful breakfast convenient bar unkempt garden small cubicle

The breakfast was presented carefully , and the chef seemed passionate about the dishes. the 24-hour bar was very convenient. I appreciated the availability of ice since there was no fridge in the room.

i found the garden to be very unkempt and neglected. the shower cubicle was small , and i believe an average person would struggle to wash in it comfortably.
