Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Satisfactory venue, but a few "tweaks" needed

Inordinate delay to order food. More staff in bar would be an idea Then long wait before meal arrived. Poor menu choice for one of us with dairy intolerance At the buffet breakfast, great chunks of bacon ie. individual slices not separated before cooking. Short on fresh fruit. Accommodation fine Reception staff helpful on where to visit in town Finally heartbroken when after only one pint of Black Sheep, run out!

Perfectly pleasant but not luxurious.

Nothing actually wrong with the room, it was clean and pleasant enough but just not worth the money we paid. No bottled water in the room or nice touches - it was just average. I left my phone charger in the room but it disappeared when I went back to retrieve it.
