Stayed for one night August 2021 in a quadruple room for family of four. Very expensive at 260 and the extra 10 to park is pretty appalling. Dont know why there is no proper cooked breakfast and have this breakfast boxes which were okay but the breakfast wrap was pretty bland and fruit was on the turn. Staff were very Fridays location is fantastic but cost left a bad taste
