a quiet stay
freshly cooked breakfast full english breakfast relaxed atmosphere friendly staff limited menu cold bar wood burner
the breakfast was great. it included a huge freshly cooked full english option. a buffet continental selection was also available. the staff were really friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
the evening menu lacked variety unless i wanted a burger. the bar felt quite cold, and the heating wasn't turned on. a wood burner was present, but it was behind a table. this limited its benefit for other customers.
