The noise was a significant issue. the room i had, the double room private bathroom, felt quite small and could benefit from an upgrade. additionally, i noticed there weren't many toiletries provided in the bathroom.

Acceptable stay overall

great breakfast friendly staff cute atmosphere small room limited storage bathroom upgrade
The breakfast was really great. I enjoyed the entertainment on Saturday night. Both the locals and staff seemed very cute here.
The room itself was a bit small I think. I traveled with friends. The bathroom seemed small and needing an upgrade also.

Adequate stay overall

hearty portions friendly staff good location small room short wardrobe significant noise
The food was quite good, specifically the hearty portions. Staff members were friendly and helpful. The location works well for exploring nearby walking routes.
My room felt small. The over-bed wardrobes were too short to hang clothes properly. The noise from the pub was significant and made it hard to sleep until after midnight.
