Breakfast was excellent. 10/10 for very friendly and efficient service, the young lady who served us, had excellent customer service skills. Private small car park. Very good location. Very clean and good facilities in the room.

− The bed was extremely comfortable, although we are use to a KS bed instead of a double.
