So an especial thank you to the helpful cheerful chap on reception Saturday evening. Great help yourself & plentiful Continental breakfast included, pastries, croissants, assorted little packs of jams and butter and spread, Yogurts, bread / toast with cereals in small packs. Cheese sliced and fresh ham. Teas coffees, Cappuccino. Fresh jugs and cartons of milk. Fruit juice. Fresh fruits. I may have left something out. Thank you very much appreciated. WiFi supplied. Good TV. Hot drinks & biscuits with milk ( extra can be had at the main reception) and a kettle in room. Comfortable bed nice big towels. Ironing board and iron, hairdryer, extra pillows. Bedside light. Room light was really good. Lifts to rooms. Yes I'd certainly use this hotel again but over a cooler weekend. Free secure...

No restaurant, so breakfast has to be taken across the road. Wi-Fi speed was good when it was on, but the connection was timed out very frequently and quickly, and regaining the link meant having to...
