We were welcomed with a very friendly greeting. Check in was simple,quick and we opted for breakfast for the 2 mornings. All staff were very friendly. Breakfast was amazing on both mornings, choice of cereal, fruit juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt. Full cooked English breakfast which was cooked to order so came out piping hot. Again the cook ( didn’t get her name) was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. Would highly recommend and we will return. Thank you all.
