I would happily use again, but wish there was at least a fan in the room.
Pros:

Good value, clean, convenient location, friendly staff.

Cons:

No air con or fan in room. It was probably the hottest day of the year.

A bit expensive for what you get
Pros:

Location was good for me

Cons:

Quite expensive and not that clean. Had to plug aerial lead back in to TV and there was a very thick layer of dust behind it.
Everything else was clean though.

I won't be staying here again but may suit others who intend to play golf.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Location was good for my purposes. Open view from room window.

Cons:

No useable WiFi in room 28, reported but no action taken (other rooms closer to reception may be fine).
TV reception not great on most channels, ariel connection loose, hard to watch a football match.
Room next door had bathroom fan on all night, every night, very loud and intrusive in my room.
Ironically, bathroom fan in my room didn't work.
Underside of white toilet seat stained yellow, crack in basin.

Pros:

Front Desk were welcoming, the staff are all very friendly

Cons:

The room was a superior suite yet the bed was knackered. Very uncomfortable sleep, the springs had all gone in the mattress but there was no replacement available. Bathroom was out dated but clean.

Disappointing
Pros:

It was convenient for our visit

Cons:

We have stayed here many times and this was definitely the worst room we have had. It smelt damp . The breakfast has also gone downhill - now just a buffet - you used to choose from a menu😩

Very good, clean and welcoming
Pros:

The restaurant was very good. Good selection of food. Well cooked

Cons:

It was quite expensive for the 3 dogs to stay with us. £15 per dog per night, so for us it was £15 x3x3. I understand it is for extra cleaning but 3 dogs don't make 3 times as much dirt.
