Despite booking my room and having an email sent to me to confirm the booking.. once we arrived at the venue we were told our room had already been taken! Staff had others booked for Friday Jan 23 but they rocked up Sat Jan 24 and were given our room! Disgusted, deflated and disappointed, we drove 3.5hrs back home!! My first weekend away for the new year and it was heartbreakingly disappointing!!

Pretty clean and tidy (although not spotless). Room layout quite good. Had a microwave which may be a positive. Decor a bit dated. Very good value for money.
