10/10 Exceptional! (34 reviews)
My bed was comfortable and I had a good nights sleep. The bathroom was clean but dusty. Needed attention to detail for it to be excellent. Eg. the radiator was rusty. The toilet seat was a yellowing white, so even though it was probably clean it did not look clean. Another choice for breakfast would have been appreciated. I am allergic to eggs but there was no substitute
