Parkland and nature reserve near Monkton Village In the 1960/70s this area was known as "The Slaggy". Slag had been dumped here from the iron works and demolished buildings. There was a "crusher" that pulverised rocks and stone and was used as hard core. Now it's a very pleasant parkland area and looks much better than the old "Slaggy"

The room heating/cooling system was not affective. The pillows were uncomfortable and the mattress gave myself and my husband a bad back in the morning. The shower pressure was also terrible. The room was dated.

Great staff, but the room was cold and it wasn’t very clean (the carpet was filthy). Staff helped by supplying a plug-in heater (room heating had broken) and this helped but the floor was still too cold to stand on for long!
