Average facility. We ordered Prosecco which had been put into our room well before we arrived so the ice had melted and the bottle was warm. The biscuits were stale. Outdoor lights were left on all night, and as the curtain didn’t fit well, we slept badly. The pillows were hard and too high. These would all be easy things to get right but they stopped us enjoying our night there

There's very little not to like about this place. It's easy to find, plenty parking, decent bar, decent food, clean, fairly comfortable (even for a large unit such as myself!) spacious rooms, decent shower, all the usual equipment although no USB sockets or 240V outlet in bathroom. Of particular note - Great staff and Custard Creams in the rooms! I'll very happily stay again.
