Trip to Yorkshire
Pros:

Staff in reception were excellent. Martha was brilliant, extremely polite and professional. All the restaurant staff were polite too. Breakfast was hot with a good choice
The shower in the bathroom was very good.

Cons:

The room was a little dated. Could do with an update. The bath panel looked in a little poor condition and not sure the air conditioning unit was working properly.
