Pros:

Nice location

Cons:

Lacked welcoming lounge and restaurant areas. Definitely function over aesthetic. Had dinner in Sports bar area which is very much like golf club members bar, however, it was full of little flies. We moved table three times to try to get away from them, so this really spoilt what should have been a relaxing meal, this definitely needs addressing. Not sure if it was caused by the hot weather but still not acceptable.

Lovely hotel with exceptional customer service

The staff were incredibly warm and friendly. I especially want to mention Tracey in Housekeeping for sorting out our beds from double to twin. She was so helpful. Lovely Layla who served us breakfast was like a ray of sunshine and greeted everyone with a warm smile and was so helpful.

Cons:

I cannot think of anything that we didn't like. It was a really lovely experience.

Relaxing
Pros:

The setting and scenery

Cons:

Unfortunately the food let it down. Portion size was small, partner had katsu curry bit tasteless, I had fish and chips bit oily.
Breakfast the next day, issues with gas so limited menu which we wasn’t shown, could do more for the breakfast bar, bins for the cereal boxes, being more attentive for the coffee jugs, tidying up

Comfortable. Check your receipt before you leave.
Pros:

Comfortable for an overnight stop off. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Unfortunately, when checking out we found that our room had been charged for an extra 2 meals and 2 drinks which we had not had. The lesson is to always check your receipt before leaving. The staff were very apologetic and assured me that I would be refunded for this. I asked them confirm this in an email to me before I left as they couldn’t issue it at that point as it has to go through the finance department. I did receive the email. I now await the refund.
