Closed Monday and Tuesday but you need a crystal b
We read the details of the property and expected bar, restaurant and complimentary breakfast. Failed to mention closed Monday and Tuesday so no bar, no restaurant, no breakfast. Alternative was a restaurant near by with a sign saying go to Russell’s on the port for breakfast ! Actual room was just fine. All they had to do was tell us and we would have booked elsewhere!
