"Great hotel just a few minutes away from le shuttle. There is a Tesco nearly opposite. The hotel has plenty of parking. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The room was clean, the bed was too soft and a double (not very big for two adults). The breakfast was excellent and available from 6 am onwards for hot food - or earlier for the cold buffet. They also supply take away cups for hot drinks and paper bags and dishes if you want to eat on the hop. Very good value, would stay again."

"Staff were super friendly and the rooms and pub downstairs are done to a high standard. We brought our dog with us and they had treats ready for her which she loved. The brownies on arrival were delicious and the breakfast hash was also very good. Bed was also very comfortable. Only room for improvement would be there didn't seem to be a way to turn only the toilet light on, it turned the entire open plan bathroom lights on which can be annoying the middle of the night. Also, there's a few mirrors in the room (including pointing at the bed so you stare at yourself if sitting in bed) which could be removed or positioned better."
