A great find and we will definitely return and recommend to others.
Pros:

One of the best breakfasts we've experienced, amazing coffee and loved the takeaway options too.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Superb location.

Cons:

Water in the room would have been a bonus and air conditioning would make it a 10/10 but the good quality fans in the room were appreciated.
