Great place to stay with my dog, rooms great size and clean. Good breakfast. included. Good value.
Pros:

Room was clean, large and airy, and the were beds comfy, the bathroom had a lovely walk in shower and nice products to use. Breakfast had a great selection and plenty of it. Dog friendly areas were spacious, clean and tidy, my dog even got a little welcome bag. Large sports field very near by to walk the dog. Plenty of parking, although this has to be paid for, but good news at a generous discounted rate. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The carpet in the bedroom had a few stains.
