We had a good few days break and enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Breakfast was fine and as expected
Cooked to order and served efficiently
The staff were all helpful and friendly

Cons:

Whilst the room was good and the bed’s comfortable
Our only issue was how much noise there was from the guests moving around above us
It was difficult for us to get to sleep until they had settled for the night
