understated stay

distant premisesbasic breakfast
the parking situation was less than ideal i ended up quite far from the premises. also the breakfast felt pretty basic i was hoping for a bit more variety perhaps some lighter options or more fresh fruit the cooked options were ok but nothing to write home about.
