missing water closed kitchen
I was pretty annoyed that there was no complimentary water in the room. dinner was a letdown. The beef burger had only the meat and bun with nothing else. i went for breakfast at 10:10 on sunday to find out the kitchen was already closed so i had to find a cafe nearby instead i found this particularly frustrating.

mixed experience at the inn
weak water pressure bland haddock
the room was clean, and everything was generally acceptable.
The shower's water pressure was quite weak. dinner was also disappointing. My haddock was bland, and it lacked any accompanying sauce. the sticky toffee pudding was dry, with barely any sauce. It was sponge with ice cream.
