adequate stay with some issues

decent selectionbathroom mouldnoise issue
The included breakfast was acceptable. It offered a decent selection.
The room felt outdated, showing its age in several ways. the bathroom showed mould in the shower. This wasn't appealing. also, noise from other rooms was easily heard. That disrupted the stay.

i found the room very clean. the lounge and bar areas were well-decorated, with a fire. the breakfast is indeed superb with several cooked options available.. the dining room is light and spacious.
the old carpet flooring could use replacement. i noticed a rather bad smell in the bathroom, potentially a drainage issue. the ceiling in the bathroom also had some mould.
