Overnight stay
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast in restaurant both were excellent. Sat outside with a drink on Saturday to enjoy the weather.

Cons:

Only 2 of us in a family room but the bathroom was very small and only 1 person at a time could be in there. Not much walkway between the two beds so access was a bit cramped. Room was clean but looking a little tired. The entrance to the hotel site had the dreaded potholes which we did complain about as it went right across the one half of the road. Had stayed at this hotel before and was sad to see the difference in the room quality.

We keep coming back
Pros:

Staff are lovely.
Everywhere is very clean.

Cons:

Some hot breakfast items (sausages and beans) are very cheap.
Having an adjoining room was not great - but that was put right for us.
We weren't keen on the multiple face piercings on one of the reception staff.

I was kept awake by noise from other guests, and would not return
Pros:

We did not have breakfast

Bathroom was modern and clean with toiletries included. Towels provided.

Room had central heating and was well equipped.

Cons:

Property itself was tired and car park seriously in need of care. Lots of pot holes, large areas of road surface missing making it difficult to avoid areas that could potentially damage the car.
The room was not adequately sound proofed meaning that noisy neighbours disturbed sleep.
