perfect location many walks awesome breakfast friendly staff
The location was indeed PERFECT, right on the canal! I saw many good walks nearby. SO convenient. Breakfast was fantastic. I ate there both mornings AND had a super shared open sandwich with smoked salmon one afternoon. The staff was friendly!
There were a COUPLE of team members who seemed a bit rude at times, but it wasn't a big deal.
