Lovely comfy room close to town centre and great leisure club!
Pros:

We loved the grounds that the hotel is set on as it’s nice and hidden and tucked away really and the fact that the leisure club is free to use included in your stay is a massive bonus.

Cons:

The breakfast price is a bit too expensive for us. At nearly £20 pp unless booked in with the cost off your room. Would be good if it lowered the price.
