Room and bathroom were both clean. Sat in garden with a drink which was nice. Had gluten free breakfast they made me 2 poached eggs then i put bacon beans mushrooms and tomato with it.they also made me 2 gluten free toast and gave me 2 gluten free cereal pkts schar cornflakes and schar muesli.i also had pineapple and watermelon chunks with a bit yoghurt. So got well fed which is a change when you need a gluten free breakfast. Most places you wont get cereal or toast.also have choice of coffees out of machine and fresh juices.
