pleasant surprise

friendly staff connected pub
the staff was very helpful and friendly. i found the connected pub perfect. we enjoyed playing cards over a guinness at the end of the night and walking easily from there.
i found the shower not that great. it was too high, and water went only one direction. it made showering a little uncomfortable.
Location
