Cons:

The breakfast was very poor. Full Irish. Pudding black and white were awful. Tomato was off colour. Mushrooms were off colour. Rashers were pre cooked and re heated. The fried egg looked like it came from an incubator it was worryingly tiny. For that reason alone I would only stay again without eating there
