broken radiator clanking pipe
the room was lovely and clean.
The bathroom radiator did not work, so it was freezing. staff provided an electric heater, and that helped a bit. there was a clanking pipe under the floor. It sounded like a fog horn until nearly midnight and started again around 6am.

freezing bathroom loud pipe
The bathroom lacked proper heating. I found the water pressure in the shower a bit weak. I also noticed a strange clanging noise coming from the pipes during the night. It definitely made sleeping difficult, and I did not get much rest.

the breakfast choice was good. food was of a good standard.
Our room needed some attention. Chipped paint was evident throughout. the shower tray leaked water onto the floor, and the toilet seat was not properly fixed. i also noted the sink drained slowly. This needs addressing.
