Cosy, great facilities.
"Great location, friendly front staff and great facilities. We booked for 3 people (1 adult, 2 children) and no rollaway bed was present (checked in at 9:30pm so too late to sort). All 3 had to share the king bed. Also only 2 towels were in the room. TV wouldn't work, but not a big deal."

"Large clean and comfortable room. Close to shops and eateries. The only complaint is there isn’t someone on site when you’d expect them to be and nobody answers the phone if you need help."
