dinner selection breakfast menu dirty mirror little storage
I enjoy food there so much! There was always a selection of really lovely stuff for dinner! The breakfast menu was also awesome, so many great options. The staff were all super nice and always helpful too!
I found the bathroom mirror to be dirty. The shaving light didn't work, what a nuisance! Hot water stopped before the bath was filled. There was very little storage, that is not okay if you stay longer than one night.
