the BREAKFAST was excellent and featured a good view. the staff were lovely and friendly. the room was super clean.
the window didn't shut properly because it was slightly wonky. this meant that noises from the farm next door disrupted my sleep during the night. the SMELL of the room was unpleasant, I think the room had just been cleaned.

adequate stay with minor issues

decent selectionwindow issueunpleasant smell
the breakfast was fine, with a decent selection of standard items.
The window did not shut correctly, and noises from the nearby farm disrupted my sleep throughout the night. This was quite bothersome. there also seemed to be an overuse of cleaning products, so the room had an unpleasant smell. it caused me to sneeze ..
