"The room was great, spacious and comfortable including 2 tvs. There was ample parking, swimming pool, free WiFi and sky tv, although not all sky stations. There was plenty of choice for the evening meal and while basic in presentation, was tasty and plentiful. Breakfast was also very good. The only slight negative was that the upmarket shower needed some maintenance, with limescale affecting the operation and the controls not working well."
