Overall good and enjoyable stay but with a few minor issues
Pros:

- The room is AC cooled, essential in the summertime
- The rooms are spacious and feel like you aren't cramped in
- Easy location to reach
- Reasonably priced
- Bed was comfy, pillows were comfy

Cons:

- Some of the lights in my room (208) did not work, but this didn't cause any issues as most did.
- The TV in room 208 was unresponsive to both remote and the button on the back of the TV (not really an issue as I didn't intend to use it that much)
- The plug socket in room 208 on the left hand side of the bed is broken and does not take plugs (I tried two with no success in making a successful plug, plug will only partially insert into the socket) (Again, not really an issue, I just used another one, but noting it here as it should be fixed)
- Alcohol/Soft drinks were in my opinion unnecessarily expensive and I chose not to purchase them as a result
- Breakfast time expiring at 0930 seems catered towards people not taking it, we chose to avoid and go somewhere else because we wanted to wake up a bit later (10:00)
- You have to pay for parking, which at a hotel seems rather illogical

Don’t stsy if you don’t like sharing your accommodation/ dining area with dogs
Pros:

Lovely property except for allowing dogs in.

Cons:

Dogs were in the dining room at breakfast. Breakfast was very busy so we went elsewhere especially when we saw dogs in the dining room.

Comfortable and relaxed stay
Pros:

Friendly and attentive staff, large comfy room, easy parking. Nice evening meal choices. Good breakfasts.

Cons:

Bit of a mix up over the room type on arrival ( resolved by good staff) and no sign of requested extra pillow. Would happily stay again though!
