Was an enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Staff friendly and helpful, good parking facilities.
Clean and tidy. Room was big.
As there was 22 of my family staying 2 nights and
eating in the restaurant feed back was good.

Cons:

Noise from the road, busy road.
I wanted a room with walk in shower not available, I have mobility issues so to get in and out of bath was difficult for me. On the plus side I was given a handle and rubber mat.

Pros:

Location was appropriate for our needs comfortable bed very clean

Cons:

Room was smaller than expected Wi-Fi kept dropping out. There was a strange noise that could be heard from time to time sounded like a pump or macerater. I spoke to reception who offered to move us to another room but as we hadn’t heard it during the night we opted to stay in the room. Although the noise could still be heard periodically it didn’t keep us awake, however on the last morning of our stay we were woken at approximately 7.30am by what sounded like barrels being unloaded with banging noises.
