Satisfying overnight stay

good selectionclean roomsmall double
The breakfast had a good selection of cereals, fruit and yoghurts. I felt some pastries would be a good addition. The room was clean. It was comfortable too.
The bed reminded me of a small double. The ensuite was built into the corner of the room. I thought it was cramped.
Dining

Breakfast included various continental items, and the bacon had good flavor. The staff accommodated a vegetarian, forgetting to inform them initially, and I found that considerate.
Facilities

Service
