a nice stay but expensive for what it is
Pros:

breakfast was very nice

Cons:

disappointed with the standard of room
we stayed at the top of the hotel
in Duncliffe
The room was fairly small
we had to ask for milk and water
there were no bathrobes
there was an empty red bull can in a drawer from previous guests
hairdryer needs replacing as didn’t do much
write up in room should say the window is small an
the room lighting isn’t the best
