Great hotel with spacious clean rooms, helpful friendly and welcoming staff. Tea and coffee, toiletries and towels in rooms. Well stocked bar and good menu for evening meals. Breakfast is a mix of continental and cooked and a good choice available. Parking on site is £6 but well worth it to have your vehicle in a safe, well lit space with cctv. I would definitely stay here again.
