Breakfast in Great Hall

“Dining in the historic Great Hall of Goodenough College was a highlight of my stay. The ambiance reminded me of I was transported to Hogwarts with its high ceilings, refectory tables, and fine decor. The buffet had a good variety, and the price was incredibly reasonable-you can't beat a full English breakfast in such a grand setting!” view full review
