Check in was great. My daughter loved the colouring books. 😀 The family room was nice and spacious and clean. My daughter found the sofa bed to be a bit on the hard side but was fine once we padded it out with cushions. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast where there was plenty of choice. We will definitely be back.

Really nice place to stay, I'd come back for a short stay again. The full English breakfast was good, my friend thought that his pancakes were under done, the scrambled eggs were out of a packet & watery. The bar was well stocked with a reasonable selection of beers. The only downside was that they don't serve food after 1600 on a Sunday.

I stayed in room 1 during this stay. The room was lovely and large and clean and the coffee machine was a bonus. My only complaint was the noise. There was a lot of road noise plus the extractors/fans on the roof which meant I had to keep the windows closed to reduce the noise which meant the room was very warm. The cooked breakfast was also not up to their usual standard either which was a little disappointing as it's usually very good. I would stay again but not in this room. The staff were great as usual which they are on every visit.
