Pleasant stay

Reception is in the nearby pub which is separate from the accommodation building. This could have been made clearer (there were some signs on entering the car park, however the next person to check in after me also missed those). I paid £20 for a late check out and originally this was only a 1 hour extension, however the lady on reception advised she could extend this to 2 hours on this occasion. It wasn’t clear when booking the late check out that it wasn’t buying much more time so that could be improved. My room was very spacious and clean, and it had everything I needed (kettle, hairdryer, plenty of hanging space for clothes, decent air conditioning). It was on the road side of the hotel, and there was some road noise but it didn’t affect my sleep. The walls were thin and I could hear people moving around in the adjoining rooms and rooms above, but again this wasn’t extreme. I would consider staying here again.

For the price not brilliant but not bad

For the price bracket I expected a bit more considering breakfast wasn’t included. I don’t drink tea or coffee and there wasn’t any bottles of water in the room, 2 glasses but no water.. No welcome pack and no timings for breakfast if you decided to have it on the morning like we did. Beds and bedding were nice and cosy.
