Excellent Location with Great Breakfast
perfect locationdog inclusiona la carte breakfastdark pub
The location was perfect for all attractions. I could bring my dog. The breakfast was included and a la carte. I enjoyed some drinks in the pub at a reasonable price.
The pub is dark small and gloomy. It was empty when I watched the football. I did not enjoy being in the room at all. I did not sleep well due to noise.
