tea facilities locationroad noise
The tea facilities being in the lounge downstairs was a bit inconvenient (especially when you just want a quick cuppa in your room). the lack of a bath was also a bummer. I do love a good soak after a long day. room 7 faced the road, and the traffic noise was pretty noticeable well into the night. our bed wasn't. I mean, it's not the end of the world, but still.

The lack of tea facilities in the room was annoying. I had to go downstairs every time. also, the road noise in my room was quite loud well into the night. It really disrupted my sleep. the bed wasn't, and i found that disappointing. the bathroom was a bit cramped. There wasn't enough space for my things.
