Solid Stay with a Great Breakfast
The breakfast selection included many cereals and fresh bread. The staff were very friendly. They provided plenty of tea and coffee. The room had a sofa and TV. There were also plenty of towels. I found the location great for visiting the Spa.
I requested gluten-free bread in two emails, however none was available on the first day. I was told that the office and the kitchen don't communicate. It was quite frustrating.
