Was perfect with our two puppies. It was good to have yard but they do need a little love. Some yards had weeds knee high. The room was not up market but bed was very comfortable and we could relax with the dogs . Room was well suited for dogs good size . Was lovely to be able to take dogs to dinner in lounge area and outside in the bistro area.
Room very tired, bottom of bathroom door very flaky.
Whole hotel looked a bit tired but the girl who checked us in was lovely. Decent breakfast, although do take up the offer of a proper coffee as the machines aren't great.

Biggest feedback and reason we won’t return is the fold out lounge is very uncomfortable only book if you have very small children or 1 child sleeping on it. Room is big enough to add a couple of single beds downstairs would sacrifice floor space for this.
Also appeared they used the second pillow on the main bed to make the fold out so bring extra ones.
Can walk to restaurants which was good upstairs bed comfy (except the pillow missing). Reception staff are lovely check in and out was quick.
Friendly staff as usual. I wouldn’t stay in room 120 as it faces 2 roads therefore noisy truck and car sounds especially 6.30am in the morning. The shower in this room has no hub on the floor therefore water splashes far and wide on the floor. The room it self is huge with a massive balcony with out door furniture.

Room was neat and tidy - bathroom was great.
Breakfast selection ie alternative milks you had to ask for - ran out of certain foods and didn’t have any supply in next day either.
Jams would have been nicer in their own individual packets - not hygienic enough.

The fridge was noisy and continually went on and off.
The door faced the bed and corridor lights shone through all night.
Other residents were slamming doors and yelling until the early morning

The room was clean but showing its age. The bathroom was very small & quite a tight area to negotiate - especially getting into & out of the shower. The bed was uncomfortably firm. Unfortunately, the blinds didn’t block out the light well & there was a lot of noise coming from outside as well as from the store room next to the room.
