Very good location. Nice meal had in the restaurant.

Cons:

Bathroom very small in our room and a little dated. Walk from the car park to the Hotel Reception not very pleasant- would be better off directing people round to the front door!

Pros:

We got the Deluxe room as a bit of a treat, it was lovely, very clean and comfortable
Stand were very friendly and helpful

Cons:

Need to ditch those vegan sausages. Nobody wants mash potato, peas and sweetcorn in sausage shape.
Apart from that though the breakfast was really nice.
