Lovely place to stay. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately the Expedia website is misleading - there is NO on site car parking. The only parking available is in Pay & Display car parks nearby.

Noisy and poor hygiene. Read other reviews.
Had to request my room to be changed due to unclean toilet - I won't give any details here, use your imagination. My room was changed, didn't have the same issue, but there is an overall feeling that the cleanliness not a priority. In addition, gappy timber sash windows did not filter out any noise whatsoever. I had the worst sleep for a long while - it felt like I slept in a tent in the middle of a roundabout. I'm not exaggerating. Noise and lack of cleanliness makes it impossible to recommend this place. You've been warned - read the other reviews.

Basic room very very basic. Bathroom good but toilet would benefit from a good dose of Harpic100 to remove stained limescale All carpets were worn and stained.
