Acceptable Stay, but Room for Improvement

helpful staffundercooked sausagebusy cook
The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
The room felt quite dated, and the carpets looked rather tired. A refurbishment is overdue. Breakfast was disappointing. The sausage was undercooked. I asked for a freshly cooked poached egg, but the cook said they were too busy to cook it from scratch. There was only one other couple dining at the time.

The evening meal was acceptable.
Our room was not ideal. I could hear noises all night and early morning. The extractor fan did not work in the bathroom. There was no window. I ended up checking out a night early.
