7.2/10 Good! (50 reviews)
On arrival the Reception was nearly in darkness but was met with a smile .accommodation was clean and well laid out with towel and toiletries. Overall accommodation was good .sadly was a bit disappointed that there was NO BAR facilities , Breakfast was also disappointed food was cold as all lids where open leaving the breakfast to be cold and not edible, When entering the dining room there was none there, i had to go to the corner and shout for the chef who came out and we asked him for fresh food, the only thing he brought out was some fresh sausages and 3 fried eggs. So for a full English breakfast at £9.99 was absolutely disgusting, we refused to pay that price for a breakfast that was stone cold and hardly anything on offer, Totally unacceptable.
