The service was exceptional, making me feel truly welcome, although I did encounter a minor hiccup regarding our snacks. The food was delicious and well-priced, making my stay even more enjoyable. One downside was the issue with bringing our own food, which affected our experience slightly, but overall, it was a memorable visit.

I recently enjoyed my stay at this unique hotel that's right adjacent to a traditional British pub. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly welcomed. The room was cozy and had a lovely view, but I had a bit of an issue when it came to the Wi-Fi connectivity. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, especially being so close to the pub and the local church where I attended an event.
