The hotel was very good, neat and clean although I would say the room itself was a bit on the small side but still enough space for a family of four. The staff were good and very helpful including the cleaning team and bar. Overall great place to stay and we will be back soon. As my daughter said it's better than a premier inn.

Recommended for a comfortable stay.

An excellent welcome, we were checked in quickly and in a friendly and helpful way. The room was fine, the bed very comfortable. No negative issues. Breakfast was reasonably priced and again the service was excellent. This is the second time we've stayed here and our experience has been positive both times.
