Pros:

Windows opened. Garden view. Nice shower. Clean bedding

Cons:

Not a 3* Room. A 2* at best. Tiny room. Tiny double bed. The mattress was very thin that was dipped at the head end. No ventilation in the bathroom only a light. Very thin pillows. Dusty head board that came away from the wall. Tiny TV. Nasty carpets up the hall hallway.

Pros:

Sauberes Mittelklassehotel mit relativ großen Zimmern, typisch englisches Frühstück. Das Hotel liegt nahe beim Bahnhof, es gibt aber auch gute Parkmöglichkeiten direkt am Haus. Die Zimmer sind sauber und gut ausgestattet, das Personal ist sehr freundlich

Cons:

Alles entsprach unseren Erwartungen.

what an ignorant Man
Pros:

Well last night we were given a free show of how NOT treat you team.
Apparently a gentleman verbally abusive to staff in full earshot of guests is the owner Tony, he then proceeded to reception and told another member of staff as if he was pleased.
There is a total lack of understanding and leadership which my opinion is why the standards are lower than whale poop
