The parking is good but would benefit from a couple of electric charge points being added. Great staff and nice clean rooms. As per my last stay, the room was stone cold and even though there is a radiator, you canโ€™t control the heating within the room. There also should be a bottle of water in the room. Quite nice evening meal and a OK breakfast.
