The room was very comfortable and a good size, the staff were very polite and helpful
Pros:

Situated well near the train station

Cons:

The breakfast menu didn’t have cereal/porridge before the cooked breakfast
Also it seemed weird that you could not have a cup of tea and a juice without paying for 1 of them but could have extra bacon/extras which were more expensive than the juice or hot drink
