The room and hotel itself were spotless and spacious and the location was good. The lady on the welcoming desk was lovely and very helpful. The carpark was easy and accessible. Unfortunately...the breakfast let it down as there wasn't much and the rolls were stale. Apart from that...we were very happy with our stay.
