Breakfast was non-existant although paid for. Was dissapointed to be told on arrival that what appeared from the website to be full english breakfast was in fact only going to be a continental breakfast which would be left in a small fridge upstairs. Was even more disappointed to find the fridge empty in the morning. Mis-selling breakfast left a stain on what was an otherwise great stay with great staff attention and good evening meal.
