Great stay, comfortable rooms and beds.
Pros:

Comfortable rooms & beds. Nice temperature in bedroom also. Food in restaurant was beautiful and staff were amazing & so friendly / helpful. Will definitely return :-)

Cons:

Toilet was really squeaky when ya sat on it. Tv was slightly small with a limited amount of channels. Breakfast ended at 10am which is a tad early for a Sunday morning.

Basic, clean, comfortable but stingy with the cooked breakfast quantity which let it down.
Pros:

Breakfast was a bit meagre if I'm honest. Some cereal and fruit juice with a choice of 5 items from the menu for cooked items. It didn't look very much on the plate! The breakfast staff member was very nice. Chatted with me while clearing tables.

Cons:

A bit more choice in the cooked menu and maybe a little more quantity. My room charge was £110 which included breakfast, but I did feel this was a little excessive for what I got- or didn't get,!

Breakfast was shocking
Pros:

Rooms were clean and tidy

Cons:

Breakfast was atrocious, very little in way of cereal and fruit.Cooked breakfast was terrible, 1 sausage,1 bacon ,1 egg and potato bread.Asked about beans and told it was too much trouble to have a pan of beans .
Everyone looks forward to a hotel breakfast and this was as poor as I have ever had.
