"Breakfast was a particular highlight serving 16 of us we were all served and finished in under an hour with multiple coffee, tea, juice and toast orders, it was an exceptionally well oiled machine."
"Had a lovely break at The Dog & Bear Hotel, very comfortable room with all the extras including coffee machine and pods which were very welcome."
