The staff were friendly, helpful and obliging.
Our room was what we expected except for the fact that there had quite obviously been a dog/dogs in it before us, the carpet was covered in coarse white dog hair and had definitely not been cleaned prior to our stay. I enquired at reception about whether there were rooms allocated to dogs and was told that generally the ground floor rooms were used, we were on the first floor.
We saw one dog owner with his two large German shepherd dogs wandering around the hotel restaurant/bar and grounds feeding them with sausages and bacon from plates which he repeatedly filled from the breakfast buffet. This was very off putting for other guests.
