"Overall we had a mixed stay. There a lot of good things ie the staff, food and location. On a slightly negative side the bedding could be improved and something that can’t be changed .. the proximity to the road bcos on a few occasions the sirens from police cars woke me up. Also I paid for a family room with a double bed and a single. However we recieved a room with two single beds in it and we recieved no explanation or refund."
