Acceptable stay with some drawbacks
filling breakfastlimited spacesingle cabinet
The breakfast included a full English option. It proved quite filling.
The room felt quite small, and there was limited space for luggage. I found the need to plug the kettle in near the door inconvenient. There was only one bedside cabinet available. I did require two.
