pleasant getaway

nespresso machinevaried selectionbreakfast choicefresh fruit
The room included a nespresso machine and a roberts radio, both very nice additions. The breakfast selection seemed very varied. All food i had was cooked well and presented nicely. i did liked that breakfast choices are very individual so i could have fresh fruit and yoghurt not a set "full english".
i did find the portions to be smaller than expected on some dishes and it was slightly overpriced.
