Adequate stay

Rooms were fine, clean and comfortable. However no service on our second day. We only had breakfast on our first morning but found it disappointing with bacon overcooked and several items cold as had been standing too long. Obviously heaters not quite up to the job. Overall a decent stay for the cost
