On site parking for 8 or 9 cars. Check in disappointing, after driving nearly 5 hours it would have been nice to sit and relax for the 25 m8nutes before check in, which is 3 o'clock. We were greeted by a locked door and a sign saying "Check in 3 o'clock." We were allocated a room in the seperate annexe, not so good, obviously, for breakfast or if reception was required, if it is raining. On check in the staff were polite and informative. The decor, in general, was excellent, modern and funcional. It seems everywhere has had a recent revamp/upgrade. The room was roomy and, also, in "as new" condition. The ensuite shower room was very well laid out with an excellent shower. Hot water was "a plenty" and very quick to reach temperature. One oversight, in our opinions, was the lack of heavy curtains. The blinds in the bedroom are not ideal for security or light ingress. Tea and coffee facilities provided, but, no milk ?? Too inconvenient, in the rain, to walk to reception just for that. The bed was comfortable, however, the sheet and quilt combination was not to our liking. Breakfast, a small time window, was available 7-8.30, not ideal except for business/working people. No sausage or bacon ?? Turkey rashers ?? I know why, but, you can't really call it a "full English." Unacceptable. "When in Rome." etc. Aisha, the lady serving/cooking our breakfast, was very friendly, efficient and attentive. Checkout was another "unmanned affair" being instructed to leave our key on the table.
