Pleasant stay in the area.
Pros:

Good location … clean…. Good size rooms and friendly staff.

Cons:

No tea making facilities in room. I noticed this is a common complaint of reviewers yet still not acted on. Guests have little option but to pay for tea etc if they wanted any in the morning or mid afternoon.
Breakfast was peculiar.. you had to specifically ask for rashers of bacon .. they were not offered as part of the cooked items on the hot trays… unusual.
