    Quirky layout with the bedroom and en suite toilet upstairs and the large bathroom with shower downstairs. Continental breakfast is taken in the room and was minimal with cereals, yogurt, fruit, toast but no cheese or meats.
  • Karin

    Breakfast was really good, more then we could possibly eat. We also had an evening meal which was excellent.
