nice bar breakfast box great value difficult car park draughty room cheap pillows

The bar area was really nice. The views from there were fantastic. it was a lovely area to sit and have a drink in the evening. we had the option to add on a breakfast box. It was delivered to our room in the morning. it was really great value for money and we were able to take it with us on our travels for the day.

The car park was difficult to access and navigate. It felt a bit tight. the room felt cold and draughty i think it was because of the single glazed window. also, i found the pillows cheap, they weren't very supportive.
