The staff and decor

Cons:

Quality of breakfast could have been better; overdone eggs and should use fresh mushrooms instead of tinned and higher meat quality sausages

Pros:

Location ideal for what we had planned. Reception/bar/lounge and dining area nice place to relax. Breakfast was good with a good selection to choose from.

Cons:

Twin room - cluttered not enough layout space for clothing and bags. Chair in the way to big for the room, stool would have fitted better. En-suite adequate but small.

Pros:

Lovely friendly hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. When we arrived we were told our room was on the first floor, with no lift.. However, my husband is slightly disabled and could not get up the steep stairs. We did tick disabled facilities, but unfortunately this was not passed on to the hotel. The hotel was marvellous, and we got a ground floor room, which was lovely, and very comfortable. The service of breakfast is second to none. We would definitely stay in this hotel again. Highly recommended.

Cons:
