Bannisters midweek break
Bannisters was a midweek break away from the kids. Pool area lovely and staff great. Rooms are comfortable but missing a dee key features such as a full length mirror. Our room opened onto a shared balcony which took a it of getting used to. Hotel also took money from our card without our approval. Breakfast was lovely and the continental was perfectly fine - no need for full cooked breakfast. Not sure we’ll stay again but it was good for a break away.
