The breakfast was lovely with really good eggs and locally sourced bacon. the coffee was also very good, i (as a coffee lover) appreciated that. the staff were friendly and helpful. They assisted with directions. the room was clean and as described. It had a good view.

The bathroom really needs a refurbishment. The shower was very poor, actually.
