The free parking was acceptable I suppose.

The restaurant situation was a joke. I attempted to order dinner, but staff claimed the restaurant was too busy, despite open tables set for breakfast. They lacked any desire to accommodate me and said the kitchen was too busy.

i secured a ground floor accessible room as requested. the room offered ample space and a very large king size bed. the wet room proved to be excellent, well-designed, and very safe. breakfast had many english breakfast items.

the tv had issues and wasn't working properly, slightly inconvenient. the room was also warm, and the cooling system was to not function correctly, which wasn't ideal.

i liked the friendly staff they sorted a connecting room. it was great for us and the kids. the room was clean!

I booked a double room though when i arrived i was allocated a room with disabled access, which i found quite strange. there was also a night light you couldn't turn off. This affected sleep.
