Complimentary champagne at breakfast! That added a show of luxury to make our stay that little bit more special. Staff were so friendly! Professional and knowledgeable, they made our stay so special.

Breakfast is in a bar with tvs everywhere and was ok but no really healthy options eg unsweetened yogurt, porridge, seeds, etc which I’d expect for the price we paid. But very central and warm.
