the room was super clean and spacious. the staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating to all our needs. i particularly loved the wide selection of beer and cider available at the pub.
the breakfast area could be improved, there were not enough english breakfast teabags and not enough milk. i would like to have seen these items better stocked for all guests.
