Good overall stay, would book again. Only downer was no free parking for hotel guess.
Pros:

Sufficient and easy parking, professional and polite staff, well laid out and ample breakfast, a comfortable room, and a good bed for restful sleep. Good value for money. Being connected to the sports facility was a bonus.

One point I thought was a negative was, had to paid for parking.

Cons:

Breakfast staff friendly and courteous. Evening bar staff too laid back causing large queues.
Pros:

Breakfast excellent.

Cons:

Charging resident's for parking their car on hotel premises during their stay. This is looked upon as uneccesary penny pinching. We've been coming regularly over the years. Now, we'll think twice about coming again.
