Staff were very friendly, premises were clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Breakfast offered a good variety of cooked and uncooked dishes. Portions were very generous.

Cons:

It would have been nicer to have better toiletries in the bathroom. I use Lidl liquid soap at home but it would be more of a treat to have a “posher” brand when on a break.
