We always book through Holiday Extras and have been extremely happy with all they do for us, But we did have a really enjoyable stay after our late flight home from Tenerife. Unfortunately we didn't experience the evening meal, but Breakfast was lovely a good start to our journey back up to Bridlington - many thanks

Everything went according to plan except the restaurant was not open on the night we stayed so we had to eat in the bar.

Jury's was OK but having to eat in the bar was a drag. Surely they should have a restaurant.

Everything was fine. We booked this hotel because we could park the car while we were on holiday and walk to the terminal building which is only 5 minutes away. As long as it's not raining, this is very easy to do.

The bend linen had holes and marks on it and the bottom sheet was too small for the bed. The bathroom was dirty wit orange scum around the tiles. Also the shower curtain though washed showed a wide band of orange scum. The breakfast was satisfactory but as the member of staff cooking the eggs spoke little English I was given a poached egg when I had requested a boiled egg. The boiled egg arrived at the table in a small bowl. All staff in the hotel were polite and helpful.

Staff extremely helpful. Hotel easy to find. Short walk to airport - length of transfer time will depend on amount of luggage/speed of walking you achieve. Waiter at breakfast organise some milk for our youngest traveller - thank you very much. It averted a meltdown.

Everything was fabulous, the Receptionist, the room and the meals. The only concern was that on our arrival back to collect the car, the barrier was up and we were able to drive out with no-one stopping us, so unsure as to how secure the secure parking was.
