The staff were amazing, going above and beyond when we had a non hotel related issues. It was lovely and clean and the breakfast was great.

A few more breakfast option for people who can't eat anything wheat or sugar based, some meats and cheese who have been nice.

We will go back and that says everything!
Pros:

The room was fine and parking convenient. The staff were exceptionally obliging and friendly.

Cons:

Easy to get to and had its own parking although that was chargeable. Really pleasant people and a good breakfast on top. We did not have to go off site to eat in the evening and the meal was good.
