sea view historic building

the double room sea view room was amazing (i enjoyed my morning coffee looking at the sea!). it included tea and coffee making facilities. i found the building to be very historic.

i noticed a very slight stain on the ceiling in my room, suggesting a previous leak, but it didn't bother me much.

rubbery vegetables thick pie crust

The steak and ale pie i ordered was a complete disaster. the vegetables tasted rubbery. plus, the pie crust was too thick, and the filling had barely any meat. the staff never bothered to ask how the meal was. That's polite, isn't it.
