"Rooms were clean and all staff were lovely. The food onsite is decent but expensive. You now have to pay for parking £6 upon checking in. The family room however, we’ve outgrown. It’s a sofa bed and not ideal for two teenagers.the double beds also feel incredibly small. They need to expand some of the room sizes to accommodate more comfortable beds."

"Fantastic bathroom. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. A bit of a rabbit warren. No lift to upper floors. An elderly couple were struggling up the stairs and were not finding it easy. The staff had offered to help them but they had declined. Would have helped to have written information about meal times, local transport especially train service, contact numbers and places of local interest"
