Our stay was pleasant but very ordinary and quite underwhelming considering the cost.
Pros:

The location, service and staff were good and the room was quite, clean and neat.

Cons:

The window was clouded over with some substance trapped in the double glazing and you could not see outside. Their was a smell of curdled milk or vomit in the corridor immediately outside our room.

Pros:

Great room, great stay. We were celebrating an anniversary and our room had a hand written card and a little cheese platter for us. It was lovely.

Cons:

The breakfast
