"Really good for our visit to Portsmouth Dockyard in its centralised location. We drove from Surrey but coming by train would have been even easier! Would have liked a box of tissues, and was slightly chilly as the heating wasn't on. Maybe my fault for not understanding the workings of the radiator. Good breakfast, and cheerful staff throughout. Thank you."
