The stay was nice and cosy
Pros:

Breakfast the first morning was nice. The take away the next morning was a waste . Not impressed. The fruit was old and all the left overs. The muffin was 20 years old and the bread sandwich was wet and real bad. Overall not impressed with the take away.

Cons:

If the stuff was fresh then that was already a major improvement. Put a banana or a apple in not all the old cut up fruit, Why not toast the bread and make a nice toasted sandwich. I get the impression that they just make the breakfast without any love compare to the wonder full breakfast the first morning. We had to leave early because of our flight.
