We booked 3 nights with breakfast yet was told by the dining room staff every morning that our breakfast wasn't included. Each time they then checked with reception who confirmed that we did have breakfast included. We shouldn't have bothered because the hot buffet breakfast was at best lukewarm on every occasion, the bacon was as tough as old boots, the sausage was far too spicy and the scrambled egg had way too much salt added. I don't think we will be coming back, certainly not for breakfast. I reckon they need a visit from Gordon Ramsay.

Hotel was clean, & tidy. Only drawback we had several early starts and they could not accomodate us for early breakfast, which was included . they offered breakfast box which consisted of nutra grain, milk, fruit drink, a dry very small crossoint, & muffin. & piece of fruit. No butter etc. yet the breakfast buffet was set up, we could have had a continental ..
