It met our expectations well
Pros:

We were more than happy with our choice of hotel

Cons:

The mood music drove us mad after a while. Why do hotels need mood music or indeed any music????

Nice relaxing stay.
Pros:

Breakfast really good

Cons:

Was shocked by the charges for pets at £50 each and also £100 per dog in case of damage (after discussions this was deduced by half) i suggested that their pets policy should be made clear on Booking.com.

Cons:

Did not have an electric socket near the mirror. The coat hangers are terrible to unhook. And could do with a few draws in the room.
