Pros:

Location and good staff

Cons:

Breakfast not good, very poor and very very limited available food, had to tell the only one staff person in the breakfast room to please can you sort out the coffee machine. TBH I think her mobile phone was more interesting instead of keeping the food tip top. We arrived an hour before it closed so no excuses. Spoiled it but the rest was good. Would stay again and hopefully get a decent breakfast.

We were very comfortable and interested in our in our surroundings.surroundings.
Pros:

Breakfast was very pleasant, hot and cold on offer, at your leisure. Lovely atmosphere. No rush.

Cons:

We would have liked some sort food service in the evening. Not necessarily full on dinners. But lighter fare like soup, sandwiches, or some of the UK's many savory offerings.

No air con or fan and we were told breakfast didn’t start till 8am and when we turned up at 8 there were already dozens of people eating including a rude coach full of Germans and most of the hot plate missing or dried up.
