Superb location and excellent breakfast.

Liked: Breakfast, one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had! ( even GF) and I spend around 40 to 50 nights a year in hotels. I had a basic ground floor room but it was excellent.
Disliked: Unfortunately, and it probably was a bad choice, I ordered the braised beef which I was assured could come gluten free. It arrived looking like fatty, grey meat reminiscent of school dinners. I didn't even touch it but the serving staff did not notice this until they were clearing the main courses. At that point they offered to provide an alternative but as my friend had finished her main it wasn't appropriate timing wise. I ordered a pudding and left it at that. When checking out I had to insist that the main was removed from my bill. I would have hoped and expected that to have happened without comment.
