Cons:

Stopped serving food at 7.00. After a four hour drive I was unable to get a meal. Hadn’t been told at time of booking. Had stayed a few months ago and was able to get food quite late. Disappointed with that but happy with everything else

Awful - avoid
Pros:

Allocated a room on ground floor right at the marquee (room 109) - there was a birthday party on in the marquee until 12:45am that we weren’t told about and the music was so loud it vibrated the windows - then at 7am workmen started clearing up / setting up for a dance comp at 8am - again loud music started at 7:30/ 8am . Kids running up and down the corridors until late too - never again. The place is wild. Save your money and go to the holiday inn along the road
