Family stay for a funeral

Myself and a large amount of family booked to stay as the hotel were also providing services for my mothers post funeral reception. From start to finish everyone we dealt with were exceptional. Professional and sensitive to our situation throughout our stay, managing to accomodate everyone's needs as they came. The reception team, bar and restaurant staff and the guys sorting out the function room were great. Our actual room and those of my family were all very clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant at short notce with no issues and ate in the bar area at various points, with all the food being very good. We have stayed a few times over recent years and always get great service. The location is great and handy for town as well.

I was told that cats and dogs were accepted. On arrival I paid for it then I was told it was not allowed in the hotel. Two hours were wasted of my vacation trying to organise him to be collected therefore I missed going in the pool and sauna and sitting by the outside pool. The food was good but there were dog fleas in the bed. I got attacked whilst asleep in my bed therefore missing my breakfast!.

Was not allowed into our hotel till we started to cry cause we was 3 hours away from home. We had id but needed a bank card and then got told there was nothing they could do and to pretty much go away. Till two women from an event that didn’t work there had to help us. Ruined my partners 21st birthday by making her cry. Awful service. Got in the end after crying cause they could use Apple Pay all of a sudden.
