A lovely stay at the hotel, my room was on ground level with a nice view of the garden at the back. Very peaceful. The room was very well appointed.

Top tip - Hotel should have signs in the corridors asking people to reduce noise polution!
Pros:

Breakfast-An excellent choice available (hot and cold choices). Room was clean and bed comfortable.

Cons:

Roms would be better without children running up and down the corridors! Very noisy!
Parking is not free, It's another £7 per day on top of the rook rate.

Perfect for what we needed
Pros:

We needed something last minute and were pleasantly surprised at how lovely it was

Cons:

Some very noisy people at the bar area, particularly with some children running a bit wild ! Might have been a good idea to ask the family not to let them run riot
