Solid Stay

delicious coffeecomfortable bedenglish breakfast
i enjoyed the full english breakfast it had bacon, sausage, mushroom, toasted bread with butter, baked beans, and an egg. their coffee was delicious. they had jam, honey, cereal and orange juice. the bed was comfortable and provided two pairs of pillows.
the traffic noise was too much. i understand it's a town centre hotel. there was no warning given about conditions because of locality.
