"Exceptional breakfast on offer, best we've ever had at a small hotel."
"The hotel has a "Lewis Carroll" theme with quirky and amusing wall murals; spotlessly clean throughout and bedroom (although small) had balcony with table and chairs."

good breakfast selectionlimited spaceunwelcoming staff
the breakfast selection was good. i enjoyed the variety.
our family room felt cramped for four people with luggage, so we struggled to move around easily. the lack of space for drying towels was inconvenient. the staff seemed not cute, i find this is unacceptable.
