Two night family stay with two teens
Pros:

Modern, fun vibe, nice change from the standard Premier Inn type stay . Great communication pre stay. Good value and tasty food in the pub right next door as part of the hotel and lodge complex. Easy parking next to the Lodge. Perfect base for sailing event close by.

Pros:

Comfortable mattress, nice, clean, quiet room

Cons:

Booked a room for two adults and one child so allocated a family room. Luckily my husband was no longer able to come with us as there is no way we would have comfortably slept in the bed it was so small!
