Lovely few days on the North East coast. Breakfast was just what you need with both cooked options and fruit/pastry. The staff were lovely in all areas of the hotel including the gym&pool. You can't go far wrong. Our room was comfy, clean and perfect for a short stay.

Room had no working fridge, no power points near bed, couch in room was dirty, several other maintenance related issues found in room. Good location for dining options, shame room wasn't quite up to expectations, certainly not "grand".
