Easy parking. Wasn't keen on the long queue at the bar to be served drinks although everyone queued up very politely, we just weren't used to queuing!

Check in waiting time

It took 30 minutes to be allowed into my room from the time of booking on hotels.com. They said it was because it takes around 20 minutes from the time of booking to them getting the information on their system. Everywhere else that ive stayed at it is around 2 minutes. This place is 35 minutes

Highly Recommended

Booked last minute and the staff were super helpful. Breakfast doesn’t start until 7am, but I had to hit the road early—so they made me two sausage and bacon sandwiches to take with me! Really great service. I’d definitely stay again.
