Excellent Stay with Great Breakfast!

full englishuseful fridgecomfortable bedphone synching
The breakfast included a made-to-order full English option! The room had a mini fridge, very useful. I found the bed comfortable and large enough. I appreciated the size of the television. It offered phone synching capabilities.
I noticed the water pressure in the shower was slightly lower than expected.
