8/10 Good
"We booked very last minute and got a good price which included breakfast. We had requested a room with a bath if possible but didn't get one and staff member who checked us in didn't mention the request at all. The room was a good size and clean enough. We were only given 1 coffee cup in the room but that didn't bother us as we didn't need it this time but I'm sure if we'd asked we would have been given one as the staff on the bar/restaurant were very friendly and good. They allowed us to go for a later breakfast which was fantastic and the food in the restaurant the night before was really tasty as was the breakfast of which there was a good amount of selection. We would stay again if in the area."
