Pool was freezing!
Pros:

The bar and restaurant were nice but over priced

Cons:

The location, the rooms weren't anything special. Looked dated. Picked this hotel because it has a spa. Wasnt worth it though. The pool was absolutely freezing. Not a great end to the day

Accommodation fine but cooked breakfast an insult. You should only offer 'cooked to order' I think
Pros:

Room was fine, well appointed and clean

Cons:

Cooked breakfast was appalling. Fried eggs not completely cooked and cold, despite being on a 'hotplate'. Sausages been around so long that skins were thick, hard and difficult to cut, Bacon dry and like shoe leather - difficult to cut and eat so abandoned all this. Contemplated the scrambled egg but that looked most unappetising - tried that before on a previous visit and it was horrible. Manager offered to cook a 'fresh' breakfast but didn't want to wait around for that so had a continental breakfast instead which is not what I wanted.
