Very ordinary cooked (luke warm, flaccid bacon, cold non crunchy toast), annoying tea / coffee self service (no pot so numerous trips from table to self serve if you want more than one cup of tea etc). Avoid food there basically. Good value. Rooms were clean and nice. Dog friendly and nice fire.

The soundproofing was very poor at night. Walking around upstairs was very loud and creaking. Didn't sleep well. The parking lot is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
