the breakfast was acceptable (nothing special, but decent).
I had trouble with the room's size. It felt small for two people even without considering any luggage. the lack of space made it difficult to relax after a day of hiking. i expected more room.

I found the breakfast options were plentiful. The freshly cooked selections were a highlight! I enjoyed the games room. It was a nice addition. There were also biscuits and plenty of tea provided in the room!
I ordered drinks at the bar, but card payments were the only option. I only had cash, so it caused an issue. The bar lacked atmosphere, and drinks were expensive!
