Very pleasant
Great place for a dog friendly overnight stay. Quiet, clean, good breakfast. The only complaint was the room decor and that in the halls to the rooms was a little dated. Will definitely stay there again.

Another great night's sleep!
Great nights sleep as usual. Plentiful and delicious breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Plenty of drinks in bedroom. Hot shower. On ground floor this time and very quiet. Air conditioner didn't work and felt temperature in room drop at night so we needed heat. Staff gave us a convection heater which did the trick. Will use again. Great service from all staff.

Excellent stay
We arrived past midnight and were greeted by friendly staff who checked us in swiftly. Very comfortable spacious room. Lovely breakfast. Not very busy, which worked for us. Located in quite an industrial zone but it was quiet and very convenient for the motorway
