Easy to sign in if no one there. First class service, especially in our circumstances for a family bereavement. No fuss. Excellent parking facilities. Breakfast was very good indeed. Would recommend whether holiday, business, or pleasure.

Stayed for two nights, travel lodge it isn't. Quite quaint in an oldie worldy way. A bit threadbare in places. Don't expect the personal touch on booking in as there no-one there to greet you. You have to phone them to get a cade for key box then let yourselves in. Ist cooked full breakfast was dreadful. Not very warm, bacon was a dried up, and hard,two sausages were black and overcooked. The second day the cooked breakfast was well presented and delicious.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Can't comment on check-in staff as there wasn't any, need to call a number to check yourself in. Bathroom was clean and modern, the room however needs a major refresh and upgrade. Carpet was very dusty and we had lingering pet/dust allergy symptoms. Breakfast chef was very nice and welcoming and made your breakfast to order.

The property looks amazing from the outside. There was a telephone check in Im not a fan of that. I had a down stairs room right beside the entrance door. You can hear everyone talking in the hall plus enter and leaving. It was old fashioned inside but very comfortable.

Cozy, but some small adjustments could be made

The stay was ok, it was self checkin when arriving, on the outside the residence looked quite rundown, plenty of parking, easy to access. Rooms were cozy and clean. Unfortunately there was a smell of cooking oil throughout the whole place which was not pleasant, pillow were also not great, it could be good to have variation of pillows of the 4 that were on the bed, they were all the same. Breakfast was not good, coffee was very weak. Could have been good to have some more continental items like croissants, or fresh rolls with toppings available.
