Breakfast was good with tasty bacon and sausages. The location was near the park and ride and a good link to the motorway.
The carpet was dirty and ripped across the threshold to the bathroom. This room was for disabled access. The ripped carpet was a trip hazard. It had a small mat, also a trip hazard.
