nice stay in lovely townhouse

helpful staffsun-filled loungehandmade biscuitsbreakfast choice
i appreciated the reception staff guiding me to available amenities and nearby parking upon arrival. i found a ground-floor room just off a sun-filled lounge. handmade biscuits prepared by the chef were a nice touch in the room , and i enjoyed the assortment of teas and coffees provided. i thought the breakfast choices offered something for everyone with specials advertised.
the room could have benefitted from slightly brighter lighting , but overall it wasn't a big issue.

underwhelming stay despite initial promise

claustrophobic roomslow breakfast service
the room felt smaller than advertised i found maneuvering around the furniture difficult the single window offered a view of a brick wall it made the room feel quite claustrophobic the limited space impacted my overall comfort significantly also the breakfast service was slow on one morning i waited over 20 minutes for my order to arrive the staff seemed understaffed and overwhelmed, leading to delays in attending to guests.

they were helpful. the pillows in the bedroom were also very nice. the bus stop was right outside. It took only seven minutes to the bus station.
the room smelled unpleasant. it reminded me of a worn-out carpet with too many chemicals. the nearest parking required a five-minute walk and cost £18-22 daily. i found unflushed urine in the toilet one evening. it wasn't pleasant to discover.
