Needs some TLC great breakfast and staff

Really welcoming. Weird noise when you flush the toilet. Needs addressing and there is a lot of pink and black mould in the bathroom. The sink taps don’t have hot and cold on as the caps have been removed. Comfy bed. No shaving mirror in the room. Great staff, quiet location. Outstanding vegetarian breakfast options.
