Room was basic, clean and had good connectivity. I stayed for 3 nights and slept well. The car park always had a space when I arrived back. Staff were very nice. The pub next door serves good quality food. I had the carvery which was very good. I only had a couple of cold items from the breakfast each morning the service was good and I could eat and get on my way quickly.

Room was basic but fine. Just every staff member we encountered at hotel and the pub next door were rude or just couldn’t be bothered. The guy on reception were the only one who actually even acknowledged you. The food in pubs ok but portion sizes are ridiculous so small.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights and had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, with a really good bed that made for a restful sleep. The breakfast each morning was tasty and satisfying, with plenty of options. I also appreciated the free parking, which made everything more convenient. Overall, a very pleasant stay!
