Basic single room above a pub, accessed by an outside staircase. Simple and fairly clean. No signal on TV. When I checked in I enquired about breakfast and was told would be an extra £6.95 and I could have it at 8:30 or 9:00 am. I opted for 8:30, went to the bar which was deserted and finally at 8:45 am someone turned up in her dressing gown to announce with a smirk that no-one has told her and I would have to go elsewhere for my breakfast.
