Booked superior twin room ,quite dated but spacious ,not sure where the superior status comes from as it was very average ,the only real disappointment was the breakfast ,we payed £15-50 each for a very poor excuse for a buffet breakfast ,food trays were not replenished very quickly if at all ,and continental selection was sparse ,no where near value for money,

We only had toast for breakfast because there wasn’t much to choose from there was a queue of people waiting on bacon? Sausages, eggs to be cooked, there wasn’t any fruit. We were so disappointed and a very poor breakfast
