Best dog friendly hotel I’ve stayed in!
Pros:

The staff were so helpful - it was our first holiday away with our new dog and they were all helping us to settle her down. There was a market on the Saturday and it was literally on our doorstep which was a pleasant surprise.

You make the best of what is offered
Pros:

Location: rest pretty average for the cost; Good duo at NYE but not appropriate for NY

Cons:

They broke my case as they brought from my 3rd floor room ( lift not working) to the garage.Complained but they denied liability. Requested passed to CEO but no response.. very poor to my mind
