With breakfast included in the room rate for us it was a no brainer to have a cooked breakfast. It was willingly prepared hot and tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

Efficient entry, clean & comfy room, quiet, felt safe
Pleased we had a ground floor room
Only thing that could change was the shower had a rain head with no options, no shower cap provided - not everyone loves a rain shower
Everything else great for a quick overnight stay
