Good VFM, in a good location for our trip.
Pros:

Location was great for our trip. Room was good although hot with very hot temperatures outside. Breakfast very good, although only ate two days and paid for three as breakfast didn't start until 08.00 on Saturday which was too late for us.
Dinner was average to good, ate 3 times. Dishes varied in quality depending on what you had. (annoying to be charged £1.50 for a slice of bread and butter to go with the Fish Pie, which comes as standard with brown and my wife cannot eat brown bread!!!!) Staff were good, but a little inflexible on their approach overall, if you wanted anything slightly outside the rules.

Cons:

As above
