Lovely hotel and very friendly staff!
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely - the out of hours grab bag option was really a good idea!

Cons:

Access to self service/buffet when you have a dog with you.
I don’t want to be served breakfast and sit in a different room but rather to go and get the food myself. I left my dog in my van to enable to do this.
