The breakfast was generous. I enjoyed two of everything including black pudding. The room was large and contained everything I needed. It included a fridge, something all hotels should provide!!! The bathroom was spotlessly clean with a large, powerful shower.

The hotel entrance has some steps scattered with tab ends.
