fresh fruitcooked breakfastvaried selectionrude staffuncomfortable bedpoor service
The breakfast was beautifully cooked. I found a varied selection of cereals. A bowl of fresh fruit was available, and I also enjoyed tea and coffee. We were given a plateful of thick buttered toast.
One staff member was quite rude. I think it was the owner. The beds were quite uncomfortable. I did not find great customer service.

Decent stay with a few drawbacks

lovely foodgreat servicefree parkingpoor lightingslow showerlate bar
the food was lovely. all the staff gave great service. i liked the function room used for a family celebration. parking was free and on site (that's always a plus).
i found the room lighting poor. there was also no mirror. the shower took a long time to get warm and it was only slightly warm at best. the bar didn't open until 6.00pm (which was a bit inconvenient).

lovely stay

tasty breakfastclean roomsoft bed
the breakfast was tasty. it included fruit, cereals, and yogurt. the staff provided an iron. it dealt with our wrinkled clothes. the room was recently refurbished. well kept and new.
Beds were too soft. None of us slept well. the wardrobe rattled every time someone walked across the room. dampers on doors would help. brackets to the floor or wall would improve it.
