A few issues encountered during stay

The evening meal and breakfast WERE good.
I booked a table, but the menu was severely limited upon arrival. The staff indicated this was due to a shift change and kitchen closure. A manager's absence during this issue was disappointing.

great rooms and atmosphere

friendly atmosphere delicious starter late service
i arrived late, and the staff told me that dinner service lasted until 8.45 pm. i quickly showered, changed, and went downstairs to eat. i only ordered a starter because it was late, but it filled me up and tasted delicious. the staff members were young and created a friendly atmosphere.
the room was located directly above the bar, and the noise from the pub was noticeable. i could hear chatter, and the door kept banging. the room shook a bit.
