Pros:

The rooms where a great size and had everything we needed. The location of the hotel is perfect and close to everything you need. The breakfast is excellent and very delicious.

Cons:

The only down side potentially could be the parking situation but we managed to get parked you just could be potentially blocked in for a period of time if you was really unlucky

Disappointing
Cons:

We’ve stayed here before and previously found it to be good value for money, which is why we chose to return. However, this time our experience was disappointing in a few areas.

The lady at reception was not welcoming and came across as unaccommodating, particularly when we questioned the unexpected parking fee. We were unaware that parking charges had been introduced, and it would have been helpful to have this clearly communicated in advance.

Additionally, we came for a relaxing break, so we were a bit surprised to be asked to select a specific time for breakfast, which added an element of scheduling we weren’t expecting during what was meant to be a laid-back stay.
