"The staff are very helpful and polite and the free parking is a bonus. The room was clean and had a very nice ensuite. I had the cooked breakfast and it looked and tasted good. It is a pub so music is played during the evening. You can hear it in the room but it turned of before too late. It's only 10 minutes easy drive to the hospital. This is why we booked it and would use again."
