Acceptable Stay with Issues

Breakfast was lovely and the staff was friendly
The shower dripped constantly. The metallic banging continued for a long time I had to use a towel to dampen the noise. And the small windows made the room feel stuffy It was challenging to get to the room through several low fire doors and squeaky stairs

I found restaurant meals to be very good. The staff were helpful and friendly, providing quick service. Food at the pub was excellent, deserving a perfect score. Easy check-in and check-out processes added to the seamless experience.

check-in was easy and the staff gave me useful information. the room overlooked the village green and had a very comfortable bed. i also thought the meal i had was quite good.
i noticed the room could use some updates, like a fresh coat of paint (it felt a little worn). there was some mold in the bathroom up near the shower head. i also felt the toilet roll was of low quality.
