Lovely room, good sleep, poor breakfast.
Pros:

Comfortable and clean

Cons:

Breakfast was very disappointing. Cold atmosphere and cold food. No vegetation option offered and very little left at 9am. Staff member observed me looking at empty dishes and did nothing about it. Breakfast was a waste of money.

Would I stay again?
Pros:

Location was excellent & Hannah was very pleasant and polite.

Cons:

We left the Midlands after work, so we didn't arrive until midnight.
The hotel is so noisy from the creaking of people walking around, you can hear every move, so we didn't get the best night sleep.
The pillows were hard which was a shame as the bed was quite comfy.
Hannah was very pleasant and polite on reception, and was very prompt with replying by email after requesting information about car parking.
Our friends wake was at the hotel later on in the afternoon, the Hotel had dressed the room beautifully and the food was amazing...
Would I stay again? No, due to the noise, but would definitely eat there as the afternoon tea was amazing.

Location suited us and accommodation ok for one night.
Pros:

Room and bed as expected. Suited us that room easily accessible.

Cons:

Disappointed with breakfast. Food wasn’t hot enough. Didn’t like that scrambled egg wasn’t hot and in separate dish - why? Also beans in separate dish.

Great wedding party
Pros:

We attended a wonderful wedding - really well supported by the hotel

Cons:

Room was basic and very small; breakfast was very average; arrangements previously agreed with Booking.com were not recognised by the hotel (despite email confirmation) so last minute hassle to get our early check-in (but resolved on the day).
