The breakfast wasn’t great - coffee in pots was cold although if you ordered a cappuccino it was made fresh and hot. Interesting property- just the breakfast and furniture that could be improved and the shower was quite tiny although that’s to be expected I suppose. Liked it - just didn’t love it."
