Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

clean roomlong waituncomfortable atmosphere
The room was clean.
I had to wait an hour for breakfast, even though there were few other guests. I mean, come on! there was no food available because they were fully booked. Perhaps they should have told me earlier. which really put a damper on things.

i stayed two nights because a funeral i attended had a reception there. it was within walking distance of the crematorium. i had a meal both nights and the food was lovely. my husband had game pie, a huge and tasty one.
I waited nearly one hour to receive my breakfast. Not many other guests were present. i think they need to improve their breakfast timing.
