Pros:

Location fantastic, Breakfast - ate a cooked breakfast the portion size was small definitely not enough sausage, bacon and beans.

Cons:

No where to have a drink, we didn’t dine there could do with a bar area for non dining guests.

Pros:

The room was lovely and clean , like the fact that they were a bath , cosy room
Breakfast was lovely, well looked after

Cons:

There wasn't anything we didn't like ,however, we couldn't turn the light off in the so had to take the light blub out and the fire exit light was very bright and annoying . On returning back to the hotel we couldn't get ourselves back in , you have to go through the door at the side of the building which it does say in small print on a notice and am sure the young man did say ,but at the time I thought he was just pointing the fire exit to us , other than that we had a lovely stay
