clean roomcomfortable bedwater pressureexpired milk
The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. I could access the room without going through the pub. There was an outside area where I ate my takeaway..
The shower water pressure was not good. It took a long time even for a normal shower. the milk pots had expired a few months ago so I bought some.
