I booked two family rooms for 1 night and was pleasantly surprised at how big and modern the rooms were. A king size bed in bedroom and bunk beds in separate space meant a.comfortable night for our family. The hotel car parks were full but we easily parked in the pay and display outside hotel. Breakfast was lovely, a good selection of hot and cold food. I would definitely would recommend this hotel.

Everything was perfect for our visit. Very clean, the staff were very helpful, the bar and bedrooms were lovely. Just the corridors could do with some sprucing up (although I respect they’re in the process of doing that!) and make sure to book your car parking space with them!
