Disappointing breakfast ruins an otherwise lovely stay
Pros:

The Room: Excellent
I cannot praise the room enough! It was absolutely brilliant—spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. We had a wonderful night's sleep and were genuinely impressed by the quality of the accommodation.

The location was perfectly fine. It wasn’t central to everything, but it wasn't too far out either.

Cons:

The Breakfast: Absolutely Dreadful
This is where the experience completely fell apart. For £16 per person, the breakfast selection was practically non-existent. The communal buffet tables for all guests consisted only of: some oranges, coffee, scrambled eggs, a tiny selection of pastries, baked beans, two slices of ham, and three boiled eggs. That was literally it.

When things ran out, we had to ask for more. Upon my request, they brought out a bit more ham, and when my partner asked for bread, they literally brought it out straight from the freezer. Paying £16 for a buffet that offers less than a basic corner shop is unacceptable.
