Poor
Traveller Type: solo traveller
  : The location was good, very central and close to amenities.
  : The room, the shower ,the meals. The room decor is depressing.The shower is very awkward. There is nowhere to put anything down, the instructions for use are in a tiny type face that I needed glasses to read but there was nowhere to put them. The first day I scalded myself the second day I had an icy shower.The breakfasts were minimal. One dried up pear, an overipe banana and sickly sweet stewed prunes/ apricots. Tasteless English breakfast. With soda bread.The pear remained in the basket for the 3 days I was there.The had a habit of throwing every door and window open from early in the morning so it was impossible to find somewhere to sit and read that wasn't in a howling gale.A booking in the restaurant was cancelled at short notice because of a wedding. They did agree under protest to serve us(4 persons) a taster menu at £50 a head, which we refused. While we discussed where else we could go to eat , they manager offered us burgers that unfortunately we accepted. They were like bullets.I could go on but reliving the experience is too painful.
