Very happy stay
We've had a wonderful two night stay, in an ample sized room for two people, which was clean and well supplied with the essentials. Comfortable bed with a choice of pillows, additional chairs and space to work or nake snacks. Very helpful, friendly staff who try accommodate all requests and queries. Very ample food options for breakfast and veggie options on request for hot food. Flexible options if you need food to go too. Despite being near the dual carrage way it was quiet. Definitely would stay again.

Great meeting place
Second stay as this is a good location for 3 friends to meet up. Great offer with 3rd sofa bed. Just a shame it wasn't prepared in advance nor the third set of amenities. But all set up once asked. Great to have a Miller & Carter restaurant opposite entrance and a great breakfast included in room price. The staff couldn't be more helpful.
