Cannot recommend
My wife & I stayed for a couple of days for her birthday. The room was fine. I was disappointed with the breakfast as you could only have a cooked breakfast. There was no yoghurt or cereals available. I had to ask for orange juice. On day 1 I had toast & honey. The honey was put on the table in the plastic bottle & there was just enough for a couple of slices of toast. The next day there was none. I cannot understand why they could not have purchased another bottle. On the evening of my wife's birthday she ordered the steak but they had not had a delivery so had to order something she was not so keen on. Overall the stay was disappointing.

Nice place
Nice little place, food was good, shower in room was excellent. Very small TV, and the bed was a little too soft for my liking. For a one night stay it was good.

No Food available
Arrived late due to travelling all day, only to be informed that the kitchen was closed and no food was being served on site. I was offered options locally or via delivery apps (30-45 mins delivery times). After a long day, the last thing I wanted to do was go out again looking for food and delivery options meant I would be eating far to late to sleep comfortably.
