Ideal for the early euro shuttle and friendly staff who were able to accommodate a takeaway breakfast. The only downside was how dark the rooms are with no overall lighting, only bathroom and bedside lighting. It made the 5am checkout more difficult as it was hard to see and find out stuff.

Exceptional value, Fantastic breakfast. The room was a little small for 2 adults and 2 kids but we will still like to go back again, The chairs in the breakfast area have splayed legs making them take up a lot of floor space aside that great place to stay, also its dog friendly not that we took one. :)

Staff were very friendly, happy and helpful. Room was very clean and had the amenities we needed. Breakfast was good and included in the price. Beds (especially the sofa bed) were very hard and uncomfortable but great choice of pillows.

Lovely stay with our 4 legged friend:)
To be honest I was a little surprised that the hotel was so nice after I queried why there was a £20 charge per night for my little dog. I understand charges but this seemed high. Anyway, they didn’t give a horrible room like most hotels when they see a dog, it was definitely pet friendly ( as opposed to so many that are tolerant not friendly) so there was an area where you could sit and have breakfast. Room was nice, shower was great, breakfast was really tasty. No complaints at all.
