Pros:

Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Booked because it was dog friendly. No additional charge online. Arrived at hotel and was informed that there was an extra charge of £35 for the dog. Wasn't happy at first but decided to stay as booking was non refundable. Room smelt like there was a problem with the drain, opened windows and bought air freshener.

Pros:

Excellent value for money.

Cons:

We thought that charging £14 per night for parking was excessive.

The English breakfast is a bit of a letdown, everything seemed to have been on the hotplate for too long.
