Poor quality toilet paper. Need explanation in room about getting out of the car park with the need to go half mile south. Why not have separate entrance and exit onto Park Avenue?

Comfortable clean and welcoming Breakfast was a little disappointing because I felt the croissant were a bit dry, the juice a bit weak, and the tea unlike previous tea and no vegan spread , I had mentioned this I was dairy free prior on booking sheet.

Frustrating Experience Despite Good Potential

Sadly, our stay at The Starling Cloud left us disappointed. When checking in, we found the breakfast pricing didn’t match what was shown during online check-in, even though I’d called ahead and was assured it would be the same. After arrival, only three beds were made up despite the booking clearly being for two adults and two children, so I had to return to reception to get the final bed sorted. On top of that, the TV remote didn’t work, which was frustrating after a long day. Overall, it felt like a series of small issues that added up to a poor experience.

The room was good, bed comfortable and all was clean. However I wouldn't stay again because the breakfast was poor. A continental breakfast was just just cereals and mass produced brown or white bread/toast, no cheese or cold meats. The coffee was instant sachets! - I haven't experienced any comparable accomodation provider only offering instant coffee for breakfast. For the cost the standard should have been much better. The other thing I didn't like was the unnecessary amount of emails from expedia.
