Pros:

Most things. Bathroom was a great size.

Cons:

There was only dairy milk on the rooms and coffee machines. I would have liked to have had oat and/or soya milk alternatives offered to be includlsive of those who are vegan, lactose intolerant, or care about the impact on the planet from dairy.

Did the job as a relatively last minute stay
Pros:

Location was ideal for what we needed and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The air vent in the shower needs cleaned desparately, the build up has caused a stale smell when you enter the room

A nice venue but overpriced rooms.
Pros:

A lovely property with a conference centre and hotel together, very handy for attending an event. Quite close to town as well so easily walkable.

Cons:

I felt the room was overpriced. I've had better chain hotel rooms for less money, though I did book almost last minute as another private booking cancelled on me at short notice.
