Pleasant but could have been so much better with a cooler room . It was like staying in an oven , with a 12 week old bab
Pros:

Very nice breakfast in pretty location & not too far from the room. Very comfortable bed . Lovely shower . The head housekeeper was extremely good & very helpful. She went out of her way to help us.

Cons:

The room was 1 million degree hot ( with 2 big fans going all night )
The room room was not cleaned after the 1st night , very disappointed about that .

Excellent value for money - very comfy and clean.
Pros:

The room was great - spacious and clean with a very comfy large bed. Lovely shower room. Wifi worked well. A fan was in the room which was thoughtful as it was warm, though opening the windows did the job for us. Very convenient location. Plenty of parking space. Very easy to check in and out. Nice to have tea and coffee in the room. Good communication with the hotel. The Crown Inn is a short walk and had a more adventurous menu (several different fish choices on offer) this particular night.

Cons:

It's a shame the pool wasn't open on Sunday evening - it was hot and a swim would have been great. We didn't use the restaurant as my partner is pescatarian and there was little to suit on the Gravel Pit menu - it was out anniversary which called for something a bit more special than a burger or a pizza. Other restaurants on the site looked more promising but were not all open on a Sunday evening.
