Good But Could Be Better
Pros:

Staff were all very friendly and accommodating and the food at dinner and breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Whilst the bedroom was fine size wise and comfortable enough with tea and coffee facilities, the decor and furniture needs some TLC and updating.

Pros:

Stayed here with my partner for our friend's wedding, great location to where the wedding was held only a 10 minute drive away. We added breakfast when we booked in, it was really nice and hit the spot the next morning. Huge car park so we didn't have to worry about parking at all.

Dissapointed bridal party.
Pros:

Location bar facilities

Cons:

Being overcharged for breakfast over £400 for seven of us ,then Being accused of not paying, then as a goodwill gesture, the manager said he would believe us that we paid .
Daughters room had a leaking roof, had to be moved in the middle of the night, the night before her wedding.
And finally wen I got home I discovered i had been changed again for an extra night without my consent and had to wait seven days for a refund.
