Facility is not worth the room rate.
Pros:

Staff turned up almost immediately after I complained about the sofa bed not made for the kids. Sunday Roast was good.

Cons:

Reception is in the restaurant and staff were not very attentive in the restaurant. I was literally abandoned until I walked up to the bar to ask how orders are being taken.

Everything you need. Make extra time for breakfast though.
Pros:

Nice rooms with most everything you need.

Cons:

The breakfast took a long time and it started to make me late so I ended up having to rush what I could and leave the rest.

Pros:

Good location with secure free parking

Cons:

Breakfast in the adjoining pub was underwhelming. Weak coffee and a lukewarm full English. If we stayed again we'd go to one of the many restaurants in the nearby retail park.

Will not willing stay again unless it is refurbished
Pros:

Staff were helpful and friendly. Good shower, quiet room.

Cons:

The hallway leading to the rooms desperately needs refurbishment. The carpet was dirty and actually burnt in front of one room. The room itself, I had clean sheets and the bathroom was clean. The carpets needed a clean. Was both surprised and disappointed.

Great value but didn't get to sleep
Pros:

Great location, nice spacious room, very clean

Cons:

High pitched ringing coming from the electrics (potentially the headboard and/or TV which you can't cut the power off for), which kept me up all night. Noise wasn't noticeable at first, but when you are trying to sleep that is all you can hear. Additionally, it would be nice to have low profile pillows available. Pillows were too high for me, causing uncomfort and neck pain.

Pros:

Nice breakfast, bed was comfortable, room and bathroom were generally clean. Reasonable amount of parking and polite, helpful staff. Bedroom has good black out curtains and secure storage for luggage before check-in and after check-out if needed.

Cons:

The desk mirror that can fold into the table had a lot of crumbs in it so I didn't get the impression it was beign thoroughly cleaned.
