linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very convenient for us because it’s exactly half-way between our home and our daughter’s house.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The room was very clean and comfortable, but my towel had a small brown stain on it. Two of the staff were very unfriendly, when we arrived she just gave us our key without a smile and we had to ask twice before we discovered that the room was a little chalet in the car park. There is a nice view of a peaceful field and trees from the window and generally it was okay.
Hannah, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Tired and basic
