Pros:

The staff was lovely and kind.
Room clean and tidy

Cons:

Facilities misleading. It read as if outdoor facilities came with room, and you could sit outside the room.
Boring menu. Plus across the carpark to access food. Which was horrible in the torrential rain.
I was supporting a friend with disability. It was presumed I would be sleeping in the same bed. So had to ask for another bed to be made up. Which made the room crammed. Especially for my friend. Nearly had a fall twice.

Pros:

Parking aisé

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner comportait des prix pour des petit-déjeuners plus spécifiques (comme pancake ou oeufs). Nous avions le petit-déjeuner compris, mais nous ne savions pas si les petit-déjeuners "spéciaux" étaient en supplément ou pas. Finalement ce n'était pas le cas, mais nous aurions aimé savoir que ceux-ci étaient prévus avec le petit-déjeuner inclus
