Breakfast, room, price. The room was large. Spacious, the bathroom was excellent.

Cons:

Very hot room (on a very hot day), water was scalding and should have had warning in bathroom. Nothing more to add...

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay
Pros:

All excellent

Cons:

This seems a strange thing to complain about, but on my second evening the main course at dinner was far more than I could eat! It was called an "open beef sandwich" and I thought "sandwich" implied a light meal. I had to leave about 3/4 of it, which I was sorry about as it was excellent. Maybe the menu should clarify what's meant by "sandwich".

Cons:

Unfortunately we arrived when it was super hot so as soon as we where shown to our room the heat hit us they did have a fan which wasn't any good as it just circled the hot air
If they had thought a head and closed the curtains it might have made it slightly better
I appreciate that the building is old which I liked but as soon as anyone walked on the bathroom floor it made a terrible noise so hence we didn't sleep.
