Pros:

Clean hotel. Friendly staff. Location. Breakfast good much horrid dry scrambled eggs. Will come back though. That's our personal issue

Cons:

I am really disappointed that you pay good money to come here and then get a huge fee to park. I agree for a fee for non residents only.

Great location with parking. Extra bed in room was decent sized. Room was also good size. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Modern, clean, comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast (which is included in the price) was average. Not that warm, gluten free toast never arrived. But adequate enough.

Was going to return with family until the rip taking £100 parking fine for using their own car park.
Pros:

The rooms were a decent size, had good facilities and the breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

Wasn't a fan of the box of condoms found under one of our beds (which makes you question how good the cleaning actually is) and definitely not a fan of the £100 parking fine for pulling into their car park!
