What the website and hotel offered was an accessible room, what we got that was a room not as described by the website, the photos depicted large open room of high quality and what we were given was a dinghy room in desperate need of cleaning and refurbishing.

Great location, looks a little tired in places. Need to move the smoking location as its right outside the front door as with someone who has a lung condition not ideal having to walk through cigarette smoke to get to hotel. Car park was tight and not alot of spaces. Room was OK bed comfortable although alot of noiss from doors slamming (need soft close mechanism on doors) Breakfast was a good selection and very nice, fresh.
