Extremely Disappointing overnight stay, food amazing , but 1 didn’t compensate for the other!
Pros:

Evening dinner was amazing, superior to most by a mile !
Breakfast was satisfactory.

Cons:

Room wasnt great!
We paid for a superior room but fell really really short.
Curtains were not blackout and street glared in to room all nite. Got about 2hours sleep.
Room was also stuffy n window only opened about 10inches ..,
What Topped it off then Building works started outside directly below our window, sledging and kango’n at steps at 8:20 and we had enough n just got up got breakfast n left n headed home to sleep.
Bed was creaky and room appearance wise could have been more pleasant, marks and stains on walls and roof had a diy job done n wasn’t painted over .
