a decent stay

friendly staff tea facility generous portions peeling paint mould shower uncomfortable bed
the staff were very friendly and cute. i thought the tea making facility, including the mini fridge with fresh milk, was a nice touch. we had a lovely meal one evening, the portions for both starters and main course were very generous (i was so full afterwards!).
the accommodation felt a little tired. i noticed peeling paint on the bathroom wall and some mould in the shower. the bed wasn't the most comfortable, and i felt the room could use an update. it was a shame the bathroom didn't lock properly.
