Room was clean, very soft bed. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Partly booked due to high reflection of breakfast. This was the most disappointing part of the stay. It was poor sadly low quality sausages, food was not a good enough standard I’m afraid.

Running a hotel without the facility to provide additional pillows/bedding is an interesting strategy. The staff informing us of this particular issue were also rude about it too. That issue aside - was clean and well presented. Most of the other staff encountered were top notch.
