Overnight stay before our hols
Pros:

First time we have stayed here and definitely won’t be our last. The staff were very efficient and friendly the room was superb and very quiet we had a meal in the bar as the restaurant was closed but that didn’t matter as the food was delicious and the draughty Peroni was spot on. We had breakfast which was Included in the excellent price along with 8 nights parking and it was very tasty and a great selection. Definitely 11 out of 10 👍
