quality produce high quality breakfast quality small room unexciting room

i LOVED the breakfast! It was superb and the quality of produce was high. The food was also cooked really nicely. Parking existed, but it filled up fast, due to the popularity of the restaurant.

our room was at the back and overlooked the car park. The room felt small and unexciting. A fan existed in the room, so i guess it had been said before.
