an acceptable stay

generous car park tidy exterior hard bed soft pillow
the hotel had a generous sized car park available . the exterior of the hotel looked tidy and presentable with picnic benches available to use. the room was clean and well kept. i liked that body wash and a pencil were provided.
the bed felt too hard for my liking. the pillow was too soft and did not provide enough support. there was no hairdryer in the room and i was told one would be brought up but it never arrived. the heating did not seem to work very well either.
