The staff were very nice, but had to wait two hours to get into my room.
The room was nice but carpet very stained
Also could not have any breakfast as was not allowed to take my dog near the food and it was only me and my dog on the holiday so had no one to help me and the staff did not offer to help me. Which is quite unfair as wanted breakfast.
Car park was very big so I always had a space.

We had a delightful stay at the hotel. The staff were welcoming and informative during check-in. The room was clean and comfortable; however it would’ve been helpful to have hotel information available in the room - such as food and drink options, room facilities, reception contact, and details of any additional services offered.
At breakfast the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive.
We were very impressed with the size of our room and the quality of all the furnishings.
The bathroom was immaculate and the whole experience exceeded our expectations considering the price we paid, excellent value for money !
Lovely staff, lovely room, only thing that let the hotel down was the other guests who were noisy in the hallway, were rude dropping doors closed on a wheelchair user, or came to breakfast unwashed and wearing inappropriate nightwear.
Perhaps the hotel management could consider a 'no service if wearing nightwear' rule?
Bed was comfortable but pillows were rock hard. Shower pressure and hot excellent. Biggest downfall was that you paid for parking per day. Dinner was reasonable price.
