Breaking was served by a very pleasant young man. Very helpful. Food was not particularly hot. Evening meal was very good steak cooked perfectly. On paying the bill for our stay and meals this morning we noticed £8.41 added to the bill for service. I had that removed. I am usually happy to tip but do object to my bill having it added.
