Lovely dinner service

Stayed here for a business trip and dined here both nights. The meals and draft beers are higher recommended. The room itself was very basic, it felt like a portable cabin rather than room. Mid week a hot breakfast is not offered so we went to McDonald's instead. I am sensitive to sound and found the noise from the adjacent A road a bit disturbing. Keeping the windows closed blocked the noise out suffuciently.

Lovely stay

Everything was great, food, location, staff, service, breakfast, room. The only thing I can suggest is the bed and mattress needs updating very noisy (only have to sit on it) and mattress dips into the middle.

Nice stay great location

Great location and comfortable room, but our room was a bit tired. Didn't appreciate being woken up around 6am with the bins being emptied outside below our window. We would definitely stay again but ask for a different room.
