Was welcomed by Stephanie at reception when I arrived. She was very helpful and friendly.
My room was very clean and fresh smelling. It was very quiet and I slept well.
The free breakfast included in the booking was good and had a decent choice.
I’d stay here again.

The twin room was a good size for two people. It was clean and tidy with everything you would need with a tv, hairdryer, iron and ironong board. Great shower with shampoo and gel. Staff polite and explained everything we needed to know. It was Denis who checked us in. Plenty of options for breakfast to suit a wide range of dietary needs. Good choice of cooked breakfast items, yoghurt and fruit, crossiants and muffins, jams, teas and coffee machine juices.
