a homely and clean stay

friendly receptionist spacious room useful facilities
douglas welcomed me warmly at reception he was very friendly. i was actually surprised upon entering the room. it was very homely very clean and very spacious with all the facilities needed for a relaxing break. i appreciated the hairdryer in the drawers and the iron and ironing board in all corridors this was a great idea.
i noticed breakfast was not provided this was disappointing. i had to find alternative arrangements for morning meals. this impacted the convenience i expected . better communication about breakfast availability would improve the experience.
