Great. The constant issues with the pool needs sorting.
Pros:

Another great stay. However the pool & jacuzzi were closed for part of our stay on both days which is very disappointing as this is one of the reasons we stay here frequently.

Great place for a good night's rest & delicious breakfast
Pros:

Friendly welcoming & helpful staff. Modern and attractive entrance with cool lemon water dispenser. Nice touch on a hot day!
Then coffee/ tea in the morning on the
entrance table.
Clean facilities and room size was fine for us and happy that the bathroom had a bath.
Lovely breakfast area lay out. Little play house there for the kids and colouring table.
Clean, tidy & well organized, the food was abundant and tasty.
Great theres a pool too. A very nice hotel, we enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Though alot of parking, the spaces are quite small and went to my car to find a vehicle parked very close to my driver side. I need space to get the kids in though that time of the morning there were more spaces round the other side, so I drove near to the wheel chair access entrance to get my pram up, elderly mum and kids in.

Pros:

Staff that we met were all very pleasant, helpful and efficient. Well done ! Ample parking. Our room was comfortable, but a little worn around the edges. We asked to swap rooms on arrival, as the first room faced the busy road and was noisy. Our second room, on the back of the hotel was much better. Very good value for money. Great breakfast.

Cons:

Unfortunately our visit coincided with one of their regular, frequent, 'over 30s' events and the DJ was playing very loud music until one thirty in the morning, so no sleep until then

To make matters worse, we then got a phone call on the room phone at 2:15, from the DJ ! Said he had been told to ring our number...

Really think that at the very least, a warning about the noise would have been appropriate and perhaps the hotel needs to consider its overnight guests as well as the party goers.
