The breakfast was not a highlight. The potato scone was sadly soggy (a real letdown, i tell you). The staff could have been more attentive. I waited quite a while for a refill of my coffee.

The breakfast really let me down. the bacon tasted strange. Its color was off-putting. the owner didn't offer me an alternative, i found that quite rude. i also noticed some old steel building work on the drive up, not visible in the photos, that was quite an eyesore. It really spoiled the approach to the hotel.
