The hotel felt like home.
Pros:

I loved the room size and an important factor for me when lodging in a hotel is having clean sheets and towels. Ainscow met my expectation.

Cons:

None I can think of.

Had an absolutely brilliant time until returned to our car broken into.
Pros:

Close to town but far enough out to not be congested

Cons:

We got our car broken into on car park opposite hotel - no warning when said there’s been a few issues there lately - maybe best to tell your customers this prior to them parking???

Quiet and reasonable room. Poor breakfast and other amenities
Pros:

Room was decent enough - comparable to low-budget options like Travelodge and Holiday Inn etc. Quiet at night.

Cons:

Breakfast was average. Coffee machine was broken and limited vegetarian options available. Veggie sausages were undercooked "veggie mash". Television was set to Love Island at a loud volume.

No shower gel in the pump bottle on the wall. Very mouldy bath mat. Bath/ shower hard to get in and out of as the lip of the bath is a wall.
