Breakfast is cooked to order from a pre-order sheet submitted the night before, using locally sourced sausages and bacon. The dining room also offers cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, and toast. An honesty bar in the residents lounge sells drinks at affordable prices, with all profits donated to charity.

small car park lukewarm scrambled eggs
the room was very clean and included everything i needed, so that was acceptable.
The car park was really small. maneuvering into a space proved difficult. I felt anxious about scratching my car. the breakfast buffet had lukewarm scrambled eggs. They were not very appetizing, and the selection of pastries felt somewhat limited.

The entrance hall had a noticeable smell of smoke. I saw 'no smoking' signs, but the odor was still present in the corridors. I suspect the staff smoke heavily. They also had a strong cigarette smell. This detracted from my overall experience .
