Enjoyable to would stay again
Pros:

good choice of breakfast, tasty and fresh made. Spacious and open breakfast area. Bar area was bright with a pleasant atmosphere.

Cons:

Bathroom was somewhat very compact on a standard double room. Not much space from opening the door into it and accessing toilet/bath/shower etc.
