Toilet seat was loose and there was mould on the bathroom ceiling. The room was spacious and well presented, good power shower. One of the barmen in the restaurant/pub wasn't friendly or approachable, didn't really want to help and clearly didn't want to be there.

Saggy mattress, had to walk to next building for bathmat, heavy loud doors, key card required to enter building and turn on lights so couldn’t leave someone in room if wanted to go out with key. Should have spent a little more to stay somewhere comfortable. But the town is quite lovely!
