early check-in dog water english breakfast dated room dirty walls missing blackout curtains

The staff helped me check in early, so that was good. They even had water and a towel for my dog when I got there. Breakfast have good, typical English options and cereal too.

The room looked very dated and old. The walls and woodwork need cleaning. I noted there werent any blackout curtains and the blinds did not fit the window very well.

worn mattress pub noise

The mattress was worn and made noise with every movement. Sleep was difficult. The landlord did not provide a receipt at departure, an inconvenience. He claimed to not yet be VAT registered, which seemed strange. Noise from the pub downstairs kept me awake. Early nights were impossible.
