Weekend break

Nice hotel clean & tidy with spacious rooms. Comfy bed ,air con, tea/coffee area plenty towels in bathroom. Only gripe we had was tv signal was hit & miss which did becoming annoying but nothing to detract from.our stay. Free breakfast was hot with plenty of choice although dining area quite small so could be a problem at busy times. Kitchen doesnt operate fully at weekdends in evening but there is a toby carvery accross car park so not a issue is you require evening meal
