The staff were great . We had prepaid breakfast continental £7 cereal, toast, Butter and Jams, small yogurts and fruit juice coffee and tea not worth £7 each. Full breakfast £9 . Bacon sausage beans and black pudding. The kitchen area or all to use was fab used it some nights . The meals on the the menu were £9 for the main meal good size portion. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 31 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### too isolated, too expensive.
