Everything was spotless. Breakfast was amazing. The staff were really helpful . Unfortunately benson Boone cancelled last minute after a 45 min wait and chaos at the arena . Very disappointed about that. but that’s not the hotels fault. We had a 4 hour drive from Dorset etc so yes not the outcome ...
