I Had thought it came with breakfast which it doesn't - although Mon-Fri there is a brilliant little cafe hidden away but very close which staff told us about. We upgraded to the superior room which had a lovely ensuite but the bed is uncomfortable, which they obviously know as you sleep on a duvet to minimise the feel of the spings.
