Lovely staff, clean room only thing that let it down was a bumming noise from outside which woke us at 6.30am, then my husband took a case down to the car and couldn’t get back in because the key wouldn’t work, but other than that a lovely stay

Service from the restaurant was brilliant the lady was great went above and beyond. I wouldn’t say vehicles are safe there at night with the boy racers. Car alarms were going off in the night. It was quite noisy in the hotel and the shower gels and hand soaps really don’t smell nice but ok and clean Big shout out to the lady in the restaurant thank you

The hotel and restuarant attached were amazing, we werent expecting much as we saw it in a retail park on the maps, but was very surprised with how clean, tidy and very friendly the staff were. The hotels ideally situated just off the M90, so makes travelling about even easier.
