My husband and I have just returned from a rather sad stay at the hotel to attend my Mum's funeral nearby. Having stayed there several times in the last 18 months in order to visit Mum, we have got to know the hotel staff quite well. As soon as she knew the purpose of our visit, the hotel manager Lorna...

But, oh dear, what ludicrous prices. We stayed here on a business trip and did not have to pay for our room or evening meal - it is just... More
