Very nice will return
Pros:

Great staff lovely food , white paint work needs a bloody good rub down /sanding and nice gloss white finish would make a hell of a difference to a lovely building , need a new toaster from this century get rid of the one from 1993, some kind of lift for luggage, saw a group really struggling up the stairs , maybe employ someone to do it
