mixed feelings about the stay

friendly staffoutrageous price
the staff were friendly enough during my brief stay.
the price for a single pint felt outrageous. i paid almost £7! it makes me think twice about returning, frustrating since the pub itself is nice.

The room offered a nice balcony, I enjoyed this a lot. The bed was comfortable. The food tasted great (I found the sea bass dish especially tasty).
I found the stairs a bit steep.

the room has been recently renovated and proved comfortable.
The staff attitude was poor. I asked to check in, and the waitress and receptionist asked what time it was and flatly refused because i was 30 minutes early.. this felt very unwelcoming..

The bathroom was really not cleaned well. Thick black mold covered the shower tiles. The provided coffee was just Nescafé instant coffee sachets. I thought this was very poor.
