There have been mixed reviews of the breakfast on offer. Some love the breakfast options whereas some guests said that it wasn’t very appetising.
Some guests found that at breakfast time the staff could be quite overbearing when they just wanted to be left alone to enjoy their food. This included loitering around tables and chatting to guests. It was felt that they needed to be a bit more subtle.
