Very comfortable bed and the fan was much appreciated.
Pros:

All was good, but the bacon was sometimes over-cooked.

Cons:

We felt that the toilet tissue (paper) was so thin that it was a false economy as one had to use more!

Lovely staff, extremely clean hotel. No air con.
Pros:

Luke was especially helpful. He tried all he could to help.

Cons:

Booking.com stating that some hotel rooms had air con. Unfortunately none had air con.
This resulted in myself and my family having to move hotels. I am registered disabled and could’ve done without this inconvenience.
Booking,com were meant to be contacting me again. Surprisingly, they have not!
I shall not recommend or use Booking.Com again.
