arcade machinepool tablebanister spindlecracked tile
the communal games room had a pool table and an arcade machine which seemed adequate.
The banister spindle was broken. I think that posed a potential safety hazard. the cracked tile in the bathroom had multiplied, and there was quite a bit of mold present in the bathroom. these issues clearly were not new.

The communal area for pre drinks was available. That was acceptable.
the radiator in my room was not on. the room was cold at night, and this was disappointing. i expected better temperature control.

excellent stay at this accommodation

unique decorcomfy bedprivate bar
i appreciate the unique decor in all areas. the bed was large and comfy. the private bar had games and several chilling areas, the best i've seen. the owners were lovely and approachable and accompanied us to our taxi.
i always look for accommodation with on-site parking, but this venue only had street parking. the street is a one-way street, costing £6 for 24 hours. the radiator in my room was not on, so the room was cold at night.
