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

Great wee hotel. Quiet, clean and friendly service. Breakfast was really good and made for you; not on a buffet style. It was therefore hot when it arrived. Close to shops and places to eat so fab.

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.
