Bloody awful !

Liked: Everything The bed was uncomfortable And the breakfast was poor - came down before 9 am and no food or plates left. The receptionist disappeared with Jo where to be found so we could not ask anyone for plates etc.I would not recommend.
Disliked: Everything and not worth my the money I paid for room and lack of service, bad atmosphere, unhelpful staff with low morale. A disaster waiting to happen. The staff need training on how to communicate and they then require more support.

Disappointed that no effort was...

Liked: Staff were somewhat supportive.
Disliked: The hot food was a big let down. Too basic to a fault. There was no provision for simple hash browns to go with the meals. There was no consideration for vegetarians (no vegan sausages or vegan bacon) No option of eggs other than scrambled eggs. I was limited with the choices and truly appalled by it.
