Pros:

the location was good for our needs.

Cons:

Better storage/shelving in the bathroom. There was very little space to put anything.
My breakfast of French toast, bacon and maple syrup was ruined by the addition of icing sugar on the bacon. It was revolting I couldn't eat it.
The need to book parking needs to be clearer. I didn't see anything when I booked and there were no reminders in any of the subsequent emails you sent, in which by the way the print is difficult to read.

Very nice
Pros:

lovely restaurant bar and grounds. Heated out door pool which was lovely.
Staff all very friendly. Room was very nice with a huge and comfortable bed.

Cons:

The bathroom is in the middle of the bedroom (ie they have removed the walls of the bathroom). Don't like this at all.
Storage not great. Lack of storage and the sink with all your wash stuff on it opposite the bed makes this lovely room look very messy. No dressing table which my wife didn't like. Again, having all her stuff on chairs and bed etc not very comfortable
However, hotel itself and the size of bed and decor all very nice.
