Very convenient for channel tunnel
Great stay before travelling across the tunnel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had our dog with us and a lot of other people staying had their pets with them too. Room was comfortable but not a perfect nights sleep as we could hear Storm darragh raging outside most of the night. Free parking and breakfast included which was very nice. We also had dinner the night before which was very tasty too.

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. :)
