Lovely breakfast and good value but waited almost an hour. The lovely lady who was serving the food was the reason we di
Pros:

The location and old building

Cons:

Dark room, lighting not good, dirty full ashtray left outside the door. Gentleman who booked us in was great and the lady who served breakfast was rushed off her feet but always had a smile. The rest of the bar staff need to take a course on their customer service skills. Unfortunately there were a lot of dogs and a dog fight almost started.

Pros:

The bathroom was very spacious and the shower was exceptional , the evening meal and the breakfast we had were of good quality,very enjoyable and plentiful in fact I was unable to eat it all.

Cons:

The veiw of the wall outside the windows also the window in the bathroom needed some attention.
As I like some air in the room when sleeping , so having the window open helps. The motor/ extractor that came on around sixish in the morning woke me on the first day then I had to get up and close it because of the noise, having it closed on the second day, didn't help with my breathing.
