The hotel was ok , rooms basic and in need of some maintenance. When I booked in I was informed that the price for my dog was £30 . I thought this was excessive.

The car park is restrictive and suited to smaller vehicles yet no info on that. Room (twin) booked for 2 yet only 1 towel. Bathroom bin broken so needed manually lifted. Everything was very good.

The room I was given was shabby and not fit for purpose, I may be disabled but that doesn't mean I should be expected to put up with exit signs in the room lit up all night, or disgusting floor tiles in the bathroom. The staff where great and moved me to a room with a shower and grab rail.
