Lovely welcome at reception. Room clean and tasteful. Breakfast was great, standard buffet, but can request omelette of choice, and they're massive and wonderfully presented. Staff were great and we weren't pressured to leave. Was interesting to see brown bags available to take things away!! Parking is a short walk away and at a reduced rate £8 for 24 hours is great!! All in all would definitely recommend
