Great place for work trips

Clean well presented room, with a comfortable bed & great water pressure in the shower. I travel for work, so this is important.

Comfortable stay in great location

Lovely well appointed room, appreciated that they could make it twin share as I was sharing with my teenage son. Comfortable beds, good heating, nice bathroom and the kitchenette had everything we needed. We had a rental car so having carparking was great too.

It's an extremely comfortable, relaxed place to stay.

It is furnished with everything you need and provides good parking and a beautiful internal garden. A lot of thought has gone into the place.
