Fantastic stay in a QUIET location

friendly staff really good breakfast
I found the staff cheerful and attentive. Breakfast was really good and served in the residents' bar. The guy who cooked it was efficient and friendly. He is an English breakfast master chef, AMAZING!!!
The room needs upgrading, it felt a little stuck in the 80s. The shower door did not shut properly, a bit annoying. I also noticed some hanging dust in the hall area.
