cosy roomgreat facilities
the room was real cosy and warm and its spotlessly clean. they have great facilities too, i liked having water, biscuits & chocolates. the breakfast room look lovely and the beds were very comfortable. i appreciate it being so near lovely cafes.
the fresh fruit salad could have been more generous. i understand avoiding waste, but the amounts seemed quite meagre.

mixed feelings about the stay

skimpy servingsovercooked bacon
The servings at breakfast felt rather skimpy. A tablespoon of yogurt was barely enough. The bacon also tasted overcooked. IT was too crispy for my liking.
