The breakfast was quite good. I especially enjoyed the new breakfast menu.. It featured a superb granola with greek yoghurt and compote. The avocado on toast with poached eggs and bacon was also lovely.
The service had ongoing problems. It seems like issues hadn't been resolved after some time. I found this quite frustrating .

Comfortable Stay

The room decor was nice. Checking in was easy, and the reception area had free fruit biscuits and milk. Breakfast service was friendly. Fresh milk was provided with tea and coffee kettle facilities rather than UHT plastic pots.
Guests were very noisy. They were banging doors as they came in late. Quieter soft close room doors are needed.
