Kirstie 8/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Great but improve the breakfast.

Pros: Bar was lovely, very welcoming. Room was great, a bit cool when I arrived but there was a portable heater in the room. Room was clean and comfortable, tea and coffee plus biscuits. Complimentary toiletries. Comfortable bed. Evening meal was fabulous.

Cons: Pillows lumpy. Continental breakfast was poor. Very little choice. Fresh fruit but not chopped up, no fat free yogurts, no pastries. Only full fat milk. No low sugar cereal such as weetabix. If staying again I would take my own breakfast as this was an extra cost £8.95 and not worth it.
