I chose a full english breakfast. It included bacon, sausage, mushroom, toasted bread, baked beans, and an egg, delicious. their coffee tasted wonderful, and there was a corner with jam, honey, cereal, and orange juice. the bed was comfortable, and two pairs of pillows were on it.
the car park felt a little challenging when it was full. i had to find alternative parking. it made things a bit difficult.

Decent stay with a few issues

complete roomloud noisethin windows
The room had everything i needed.
I was woken up by noise coming from what i suspect was the staff area above my room. Someone turned on a tv VERY loudly around 1:45AM and it stayed on until about 2:30AM. The noise from outside started early too, and the windows let everything through.
