I too felt a bit out of place with the suits gazing out over the town from several floors up. I did notice also a sprinkling of hi-viz attire - workers perhaps on the way to clean and seal floors subsidised by their employees.

And, whilst not cheap, they are better value than their competition.<br />But never the breakfasts - once they gave me the pre-packed version - a baleful exercise in synthetic inedibles and overpackaging.<br />Like all chains, sometimes good, sometimes unbearable - usually down to the staff on duty, of course. Not quite sure if the style suits a walking or backpacking tour - something incongruous about that - <br />I used to use the 'up-market' B&B's you favoured, but I too find their 'earliest breakfasts' 'under protest' at 0830 quite impractical. gimmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-17636867455122207202019-05-02T18:22:19.649+01:002019-05-02T18:22:19.649+01:00JJ - especially the breakfasts!JJ - especially the breakfasts!Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-7709543576469323692019-05-02T08:06:48.339+01:002019-05-02T08:06:48.339+01:00That's a very pleasant day's walk.
