"Great breakfast, ok location and excellent bar and breakfast staff.
The people on reception usually set the tone for what you can expect during your stay. On this occasion I was a little bit surprised by how the receptionist enjoyed telling me and my 4 year old son what we couldn’t do because we were early for check in (unprompted: check jn, use the pool, not to expect a call when our room was ready). We were early. and all i wanted to do was hand our bags over. We did that but I had to ask if we could do that rather than being asked if we would like to do that. Sounds a bit picky u know, but I also had to revisit reception to ask if I needed to do anything with regard to the parking machine just off reception. I was advised that we didn’t and told ‘not to touch the machine’. Nine if it was malicious at all, all done with a smile, but it did make me think, Christ you (receptionist) enjoyed that exchange! Anyway, we had lunch in the bar whilst waiting for our room. Bar staff were amazing with my boy. Went to reception at 2pm and yes our room was now available. We were sat in line of sight of the receptionists they could have let us know our room was ready. Picky I know, but am used to a friendly welcome not a condescending one."
