Better value hotels close by but enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Excellent location, friendly staff, lovely spacious room with en-suite which was clean and comfortable

Cons:

No breakfast, meaning we had to use a cafe down the road also owned by the hotel. Which was very expensive asking for a 15% to 25% tip on top.
