Quality Accommodation
Pros:

My pet was made very welcome and was given a sausage each morning at breakfast. These are small acts of kindness and thoughtfulness but they mean a lot. Hotel is very smart compared to others in the town. Nice communal areas like the bar and breakfast room. Nice selection of items in breakfast buffet followed by very good selection of cooked items cooked to order.

Cons:

Room was very, very warm: whole hotel was actually.

Wouldn't go back. Pricey for what it was.
Pros:

Staff were excellent.
Cleaner was good.
Others were flexible, and accommodating and with a sense of humour,too.
Decor was lovely, room size adequate.
Doggie sausage for breakfast was provided for our dog on 2 breakfasts
Breakfast was a good wide selection.
Fan in the bedroom.

Cons:

1. No hot water for shower on one night. The previous night, the shower ran hat and cold intermittently
2. I do not recommend eating breakfast in the reception area. The seats are too low to have yo bend forward and eat. We moved to the front bar area for the subsequent meals. Much better.
3. Some Tinned fruit for breakfast
4. Loud music from bar below on Monday night until v late at night.
5. Something being rolled on metal castors across the car park at 5am?
6. The reception being so far from the garage.
7. The additional step (no warning) down to room 212.

Some things can't be controlled but are there no areas of the hotel where there were quiet rooms, ?
