Really good stay with a view

The room had a nice welcome tray with coffee and tea. The location was perfect, with reasonable nearby parking. I found the host very friendly, knowledgeable, and warm when I arrived. I felt so welcome.

The bathroom was a bit small. The sink was partially in the way of using the toilet.

noisy bedflapping tarpaulins

The hotel thinks it is acceptable to not fix a noisy bed. Every time I moved, the noise woke me up. I did find tarpaulins on scaffolding. They kept flapping all night. The 'beautiful' room? Very, very basic, and it cost £145. What a steal!
