Nice enough hotel, convenient location from the M1. Close to a nice country park. Gym is pretty well equipped. Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially the guy in the gym. My only gripes are that the room smelled of smoke - probably people smoking on the balcony with the door open. The decor is a bit tired. I was charged £3 for a like and soda which felt a bit steep for a pint of squash.
