The cooked breakfast was acceptable.
The hotel seemed run down. A musty smell permeated the building upon entry. Our room had an odor of dust and mold. We left the window open hoping to alleviate this issue.

the breakfast was quite delicious. i particularly enjoyed the full fry up before our walk. sausages and black pudding were especially tasty. the staff were very nice across all departments, from reception to the cleaning staff, everyone was pleasant.
The photos i saw online seemed quite outdated. our room was in the east wing and required walking in the rain to reach it. the outer door to this area didn't close securely, as the locks were removed. This.
