Bad Breakfast experience: How long to cook a soft boiled egg?

I was the only person in the restaurant on Monday morning, ordered coffee and eggs+ Coffee arrived OK, 20 minutes later I asked where my breakfast was, and waiter went to kitchen, returned empty handed. Breakfast no where to be seen. I cancelled. VERY POOR MANAGEMENT. People are often in a hurry on a weekday, and breakfast prep should be efficient especially when no competing demands

One of the main reasons we booked this property was the pool. We wanted a holiday where we could use the pool in a morning to relax or in an afternoon to cool off. Sadly we where not informed that the pool was closed 1 afternoon for a private pool party, and closed 1 morning while an interview was being filmed there. No staff informed us of this when checking into the property, or when booking. The hotel itself is lovely, great rooms and a fantastic location. However, if you are paying a little bit extra for a place with a pool, its really better to look elsewhere.

Historic building with a funky retro styling. Clean room but windows very dirty on the outside which was a shame. Staff very friendly and a convenient location for everywhere.
