Comfortable enough stay. Step fathers steak was tough on first night and not medium rare as requested. Mothers yorkshire pudding was dry and hard she said. Breakfast was freezing with air-conditioning overhead. Could feel it hitting my thighs and not good when your food and coffee is sitting under it. Bacon is advertised as crispy on menu but if you want it crispy you had better ask!
