A bed and no breakfast

After I arrived I was informed that my payment did not cover breakfast. This came as a shock and left me disappointed. It spoiled my stay. Room was clean and comfortable but tired. Parking was good. Access to town centre was good. Host was friendly.

I had a lovely room, breakfast was enjoyable and I felt well looked after. I was disappointed though that I was unable to watch TV as was told there was something wrong with the remote control. They were unable to rectify this during my 3 night stay.
