Pros:

We left early in the morning for a hospital appointment, so we didn't eat breakfast. We had our evening meal there though, and that was excellent. We arrived at school finishing time, and there's a primary school across the road. It was lovely to see the hotel allows parents to use their car park for the brief period to pick up their kids from school.

Cons:

Two small points. The bed was bit soft and squidgy for me. The shower didn't have any sort of anti-slip mat, and it was incredibly slippy. To tell the truth I can't understand how nobody has broken something yet?

Dreadful experience
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The whole stay was a shambles. The bedroom was so small, the cupboard in our room was full of towels and bedding for the 4 rooms they have, the wardrobe space was taken up by fans and ironing board, there was nowhere to put clothes or luggage - we couldn't use the balcony because we had to store our luggage in front of it. the bed was so small and so hard we didn't sleep. The hot water tap in the bathroom was so strong it splashed everywhere including on the floor and the water was boiling hot so a possibility of being burnt. The first night we had a party of 7 for dinner, 3 people sent their meals back and the rest said their food was hardly warm, lunchtime the next day we ordered 2 sandwiches on different breads and they got them the wrong way round! The amount of time we had to wait at the bar to be served was ridiculous, because half the staff were talking and not being alert to customers needing service. This hotel was recommended to us as we were at a wedding nearby, we booked for 2 nights but preferred to drive home late at night rather than spend the 2nd night in that room. Did we get a bad deal or not? I don't know but certainly wouldn't recommend it and wont be back again, amongst the worst service and hotel room we have had worldwide - dreadful
