Check in was late on the Friday, just after 9 but the kitchen still did me some food that was convenient for them which I enjoyed and very appreciated.
Breakfast was excellent, quick to replace missing items as a lot had got caught out with the hour changing on Sunday.

Some things good - somethings bad
Room was good as were the staff.
Sorry to say the food we had was not the best - steak pie - pastry was very hard, lasagna-was very salty & a little too sweet for my taste. Also would be better if the plates were warm, that also applies to the plates at breakfast

Tiny sofa bed
The hotel itself was fine...but the sofa bed was not big enough for two (even teenagers) to share. Barely bigger than a single bed. Hotel did provide some extra duvets to allow someone to sleep in the floor.
