Stayed last year as a treat for my wife's birthday. We decided to do the same again this year and once again had a fantastic time. All staff were friendly and very helpful.

Clean: The whole hotel room included was immaculately clean. Staff: very friendly ladies greeted us on the front desk and took us through the checking process. Very straight forward. Hollie greeted us every morning with a smile & friendly chat nothing was too much trouble with serving us our breakfast. Which I have to say my pancakes were amazing. Parking: very easy pulled up to the gate unfortunately a little glitch the button to call the desk it didn’t work I walked in and the lady on the desk buzzed my husband through but it was one of the hottest days of the year so not a major problem. We have stayed several times and that’s the first time we had a problem.

Firstly, the parking is very secure and free. The room was clean, but the coffee machine made lukewarm drinks and the base of the taps need a deep clean. The double bed was the smallest I've ever seen unless I wanted to pay hundreds more. Breakfast wasn't good, the scrambled egg was smothered in butter and salt, the bacon was dry and overcooked and the toast was cold and dry, dirty napkin and customers were asking for things like baked beans, coffeess etc and they were getting these. The young lad working on the bar was great, really polite and chatty. The woman on the bar took it upon herself to try my cocktail before serving it to me! So it really was a bit hit and miss. I'd have preferred Premier Inn to be honest.
