3 night stay in King Alf's

The room was comfy, central to everything and was the perfect base for us to explore Dartmouth. The best way to start our day was going downstairs for breakfast in Cafe Alf Resco - delicious!! Thank you!!

A few tweaks newded

Positives: car park pass/comfortable bed/powerful shower. Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast 'slot' table would be available to the public outside these times - we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion - get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (rightly so, geat breakfast) so I was sorry to miss out on it!
