It’s a excellent cost-benefit place. Comfortable room, with nice bed and shower, amazing breakfast and extremely kind and well trained staff. The area where this hotel is located isn’t good and also the gym is terrible.

After a late arrival, the chef stayed on despite the kitchen being closed in order to prepare me a meal after my long drive, as did they waiver the ‘no room service’ option to cater for me. Very friendly and helpful staff all round. Secure parking. Highly recommend this property. Very convenient for those travelling by road as it’s on the main northern bound route.
