Overall it was a good stay and great for what we needed
Pros:

The hotel was clean and the staff were lovely

Cons:

Sadly there was a lot of noise in the corridors that went on til around 2am children running up and down. I also feel the charge for the parking is a bit much. As we are guests who are spending time and money using the facilities I feel it should be free

Good hotel but expensive for what it is.
Pros:

Location and layout of the family rooms with the bunk beds works really well

Cons:

Breakfast wasn’t included so it was £90 for 2 adults and 2 children. Very expensive for a very basic buffet.
Parking charged at £20 a night unless you booked direct with hotel.
