Perfect location, not great during a heat wave but would be perfect otherwise.
Pros:

Perfect location. Easy check in/check out. Good communication and a really lovely room.

Cons:

No Aircon meant the night was not conducive to much in the way of sleep, the room was stupendously hot despite using the fan that was placed in the room.

Luxurious comfortable enjoyable property which enhanced our visit to see our daughter graduate.
Pros:

Room was very comfortable with excellent amenities. Bed was luxurious and so big it had its own postcode. High spec fixtures and fittings loved shower and heated floor tiles.

Cons:

External sometimes slams maybe some thing to dampen the sound. Minor point tbf

Very comfortable stay, excellent location for university and golf courses.
Pros:

Breakfast taken at local cafe Bibi's was excellent for choice and good quality food.

Cons:

Didn't notice when I booked that the private bathroom was across the landing instead of en-suite. It is a lovely spacious modern bathroom but you just have to keep remembering to have room key with you each time you pop out to use it, otherwise could be embarrassing getting locked out of room in dressing gown in middle of night with no phone to call anyone to let you back into room. Having a door code lock on bedroom instead of key might be better idea?

Expensive but centrally located. Stuffy and lots of street and seagull noise.
Pros:

Great location and even had parking nearby, beautiful rooms and bath. Garden room had access to an outdoor space. Good shower. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Murray Suite Room was hot and stuffy - windows opened but didn’t draw much air, street noise and seagulls really loud and no fan. Garden Terrace room only had door no window so you had to leave the door open all night to get air.

Lovely place to stay and convient. There is no restaurant associated with the facility.
Pros:

Our room was beautiful and large. Plenty of room to spread out and conviently located to attractions, The mini bar was free and there was fruit in the hallway.

Cons:

Desparately needs a fan and or a white noise machine. Our room was located next to the door and you could easily hear people coming and going as welll as walking on the street. The floors are hardwood so noises carry.
