Solid Guest House Experience

safe parking varied selection usb charging point vacant socket
Dave accommodated my parking request at the rear of the hotel. He offered an excellent breakfast with a varied selection. Every plug socket included a USB charging point which is convenient. I found vacant plug sockets within reach of the bed.
Water pressure in the shower was quite weak I hope it can be improved.

My room felt very dated. The decor seemed old and not in line with current styles. I also noticed the absence of blackout curtains, which affected sleep quality.
