When we arrived it looked like a great choice, green spaces, a woodland walk to exercise the dogs, a huge lake with Koi Carp and we had a meal at the Pizza Express next door.
However, by 7 pm it all changed, the noise of souped-up cars having a ‘Meet’ in the parking areas revving and racing, sounding their horns, watched by a cheering audience. The cars doing circuits of the car park, intimidating legitimate visitors.
We retreated to the room, managed to settle the dogs, and tried to get to sleep, for an early start next day.
At 12.30 the fire alarm went off, and we left the room with the dogs, and assembled at the front of the hotel with the other residents. The whole place was still as busy as at 7pm, and very scary, wondering what to do next. Eventually people passed along that we could go back in, no obvious staff member, no one checking the guest list, literally a nightmare, as we couldn’t get to sleep at all.
And to add to the aggravation I had to pay £40 for our two dogs, as they said I hadn’t done it on the original booking, which I will have to check.
