The room was a little tired but I’d didn’t detract from our stay and had everything we wanted for one night.
Pros:

Location great for what we wanted.

Cons:

Allowed dogs, nice garden area for him. Great supply of goods for breakfast which was included in the price.
Fish & chip shop attached to the hotel.

Hands off approach did not suit me
Pros:

The room was fine

Cons:

The total lack of service I fail to see how a hotel can be successfully managed and run remotely pretty dreadful. The council even managed to start the
re-surfacing of the road just outside my bedrooms window fantastic. No bar open, no food available, I do realise that the road works was nothing to do with the hotel but for me it put the tin hat on it.
