10/10 Excellent

"Excellent all round - We arrived an hour or so early and asked if they could mind our bags until check-in and they checked and said our room was ready and allowed us to check in early which was a great bonus. Room was great, air con worked great and breakfast was a great bonus - was expecting just warm bread etc. but had all that you need to create a lovely cooked breakfast. All staff we dealt with were courteous and helpful. Will definitely be returning!"
