"The room was cleanish, the carpet looked suspect lots of marks and stains and bits on the carpet you could feel under foot. The bathroom was your saviour, beautiful. I feel the room didn’t quite match up to the quality of the bathroom. Also the cooked breakfast could be improved on, the bacon would be made much better fried and not done in the oven…. This is coming from a chefs eye, as that’s what you eat with first…."
