There's very little not to like about this place. It's easy to find, plenty parking, decent bar, decent food, clean, fairly comfortable (even for a large unit such as myself!) spacious rooms, decent shower, all the usual equipment although no USB sockets or 240V outlet in bathroom. Of particular note - Great staff and Custard Creams in the rooms! I'll very happily stay again.
