Not worth a quarter of the price I paid
Pros:

It was in a central location for my journey

Cons:

I booked a double bed and fret I booked they saint a message saying it was “subject to availability” and then failed to provide it, the room was also grubby ( see photos) and the cleaner knocked on our door at 8:30 to see if anyone was in the room as their cleaning schedule system was down so bang went the planned lay in after a late night driving!

Cons:

Upon checking into the hotel, even though we registered our rental car's license plate and filled out the necessary forms, the hotel forwarded parking fines to the rental company. Although I successfully contested and had the fines themselves cancelled, I was still required to pay a £400 penalty to the rental company as per the terms of the contract. I ended up paying a penalty due to this unfairness and error on the hotel's part. You risk getting fined if you visit with a rental car.

Great stay as always!
Pros:

Excellent stay - we have been here a number of times and never fails to disappoint. Kids love the pool and the great selection at breakfast!

Cons:

A staff member asked us to sit outside to eat our McDonald’s before our room was made up. It was 3pm and there was no one else in the bar and we later went back for drinks so I feel this was a bit rude
