Very comfortable stay, helpful staff
Pros:

I asked for a twin room, as I was sharing with my brother, but we were given a double. Luckily, it worked out ok as there was a sofa bed in our room, which the hotel staff made up for me, this seemed to be brand new and was fortunately very comfortable. Slept really well after a very difficult day attending a very sad family funeral. Staff were very helpful. We held our funeral reception at the hotel and the food and service was very good.

Cons:

Breakfast times were too early for us, we ended up missing breakfast as we were exhausted and didn't make it down before 930 am, when breakfast finished. Couldn't breakfast times be extended to 10 am or 1030 am? 930 is a little early for guests who are on holiday/staying for leisure or family time and not getting up to go to work.

Very dated and a serious lack of investment. Though paint/weed killer and a feather duster won't break the bank
