OK could be better
Pros:

I've been going there for years as its convenient for visiting family, the only thing is the lack of maintenance it's become tatty because it's a shame as it was a nice hotel.

Cons:

Not up to standard I expected and would not recommend.
Pros:

The price was reasonable and included breakfast. Staff polite.

Cons:

The room we were in ( no 7 ) had a very strong damp musty smell . We couldn’t leave our clothes in the wardrobe as it also had the same strong smell. We had booked another room for our son ( room 5 ) much smaller, we had to keep our clothes in his room and change there as thankfully it wasn’t damp and musty. Very disappointed, this needs to be investigated as this is unhealthy to be sleeping in this type of room, even with the windows open all night.
Should be stated when booking that you need to check in at next door hotel where breakfast is held also a bar.

Good value.
Pros:

Good value for money.
Excellent value breakfast.
Comfy room.

Cons:

Security dog on site which barks EVERY TIME he sees you or another dog! Kind of annoying when all the other dogs join in too…at 6am!
Would stay again but without our dog.

Pros:

I was not keen on the bed and the toilet facilities at all, felt like there was something itching me in bed all night, to the point I slept fully clothed.
The shower barely let out any water, and did not look clean.

Cons:

Location, no noise

Check in was easy and they moved us to the hotel next door which I guess is the main building as this is where you pick up the keys fir the lawn hotel ( can’t think what hotel is called ) bar was ok - no I’ve but us there so little cold
Staff were friendly and helpful - breakfast was good full English
