Once again a delightful stay. Always my first choice if available when working in the area.
Pros:

Location was perfect for the work I was doing. Room was clean and comfortable and quiet (at least after the football was finished). Staff as always were outstanding. Attentive, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble.

Cons:

Desk unit in room a bit small to lay out computers, scanner, paperwork, etc. But I appreciate rooms mainly aimed at holiday visitors.
No hot water first morning. Given the hot weather a cold shower was "refreshing". But boiler issue quickly resolved.

An excellant, comfortable stay with enjoyable food and drink.
Pros:

Staff always helpful.
Excellant choices on menus and food was very good.

Cons:

The cold tap in the room required running for a long time before cold water was delivered - minor point.
Parking was difficult with a trailer but then I don't suppose many people need this!
