traffic noise greasy fried bread
The room faced the road, so traffic noise was present. the noise was more noticeable because the windows need better sealing. breakfast also disappointed me. The sausage tasted cheap, not locally sourced as advertised. fried bread was excessively greasy and inedible. the bacon lacked flavour, like it was boiled instead of fried.

Acceptable stay with a few issues

road noise firm mattress
Breakfast had all necessary components.
The room faced a road and I struggled with the noise from traffic. The mattress was too firm to sleep comfortably. A supplementary charge for a dog felt too expensive for services I received.
