9/10

The location was good though a bit rough since we were at the back of a pub. Checking in early went smoothly and communication was great, but having a phone number would’ve helped. The bed and bath linen could’ve been better, especially the small towels, but we liked the little touches like the corkscrew and wine glasses in the room.
