The lamppost in the car park wasn’t working and unfortunately I parked right under it so was hard to see to pack car in the dark when I left early this morning. Other than that another great stay, thanks

Very good all round ! Except pet-friendly charge excessive compared to all the other Hotels we use regularly! Who normally charge between £6-£20 and are sometimes free. With the additional car parking charge now it is making our stay with you be carefully thought about. Shame you are becoming a bit Corporate greedy!!
