"Amazing stay!!! It would be nicer to check out one hour later. Our room was clean and it had the necessary amenities. The breakfast was free and very nice and parking was free too. The only issue was outside noise from the busy road due to petrol station, M&S and Tobi Carvery. Although, I really recommend it specially for couples."
