Underwhelming Experience

good breakfastlimited menumissing condiments
Breakfast was good and served to the table.
I asked for an omelette instead of a full breakfast but was told no the chef could not do that as there were already eggs on the menu butter and milk available I could not see what the issue was I had to chase for toast and when it came there was no jam with it and no barbecue sauce at dinner.

Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

limited menu
The room was clean. It was located in the mansion house.
The bar area lacked cleanliness. Tables in the outside smoking area were not cleaned promptly, some remaining dirty for two days. At breakfast, I requested an omelette but was told it was not possible.
