lovely visit, was very good

hot drinks comfy bed quality bedding large bathroom
the room included hot drinks. the bed was really comfy. the bedding was of a good quality. the bathroom was large. i found plenty of towels available (which i always appreciate).
i noticed slightly dated decor. there were limited electrical outlets for charging devices. it was sufficient for my needs, but a modern update would be helpful.

Decent Location, Issues with the Room

sewage smell limited electrical
The location was convenient and the staff was friendly.
The room had a noticeable sewage smell, especially in the bathroom. The decor felt outdated, and there were limited options for charging phones. The shower was also terrible, with barely any water pressure and temperature control was a problem.

smell issue

good location dog walks
the location was good for reaching shops. it also worked well for dog walks in the parks (i really enjoyed this).
there was a noticeable smell of sewage in the bathroom. it affected the whole room and wasn't very pleasant. i think addressing this would greatly improve the experience.
