The rooms were really nice and the staff were lovely. Breakfast was laid out at 9pm, which I understand due to it being an airport hotel however this then meant that come the morning, there was not much of anything left over. There was 1 pastry left at 7.30am, and no staff until around to replenish this.

Room was spotless Breakfast - could of been better. Pastries were left out the night before which meant by the morning, it was very dry. Also, there was limited items available. Maybe think of ways where breakfast can be delightful. ie.a coffee machine, fresh cut fruit, cereal, breakfast pots. Not just pastries, fruite and yoghurt.

Lovely staff, nicely furnished and good continental breakfast. Room a little noisy with window open so go for a room at the back of pub. Food sounded good but we didn’t have time to sample. Overall very good
