Pros:

The greeting at reception was friendly and with a smile.
breakfast great with wonderful staff attending.
room was comfy and clean

Cons:

I got a fine for parking in your car park. I had input the wrong registration on checking in but realised this and came down to tell the staff. I re-input the reg as per instruction.
£100 fine came. Awaiting their response to my explanation.
Ruined the experience.
