The hotel breakfast offered a wide selection of food. The hot breakfast options were cooked to order so that I could start the day off right.

The breakfast had multiple choices and was tasty. the service was quick, and i found the staff to be pleasant. the location is central on the high street. i used a parking pass from the hotel for £12. This was cheaper than the machine.
a hikers tea voucher was purchased, but i had to pay extra because the cost had increased. this doesn't reflect well on the hotel group. i found this to be a poor show. it left a bitter taste.
