underwhelming stay, issues with cleanliness

dirty glassescarpet stains
I found some issues . the room needed a better clean throughout. There were stains on the carpet. glasses were not clean. i also noticed leftover food in the microwave, gross. there were no plates or cutlery even though a microwave and fridge were available. it was odd. plus, milk wasn't provided for the tea and coffee.

woof's charm and cozy suite!

great directioncomfortable seatcosy spacecutlery absence
The owner offered restaurant recommendations and directions, as i am coeliac (gluten free). she let us store meat in a fridge that we bought from a local butcher, so kind!!! the king suite attic room had a sitting area with coffee, tea, comfy seats and a television. i really liked the building's decor. It felt cosy and intimate.
i noticed a lack of plates or cutlery despite the microwave and toaster available in the room. there was no milk provided with the tea and coffee either, a bit inconvenient.
