“Friendly, clean, comfortable, handy location & parking.”
I was cold in bed - the bed covers wouldn't stay on, then found in the morning that the top quilt had fallen off. There was nothing to hold the bed covers on the bed - it would have been improved with a top sheet or some way of tucking them in.

This is a great budget accommodation with very welcoming staff, a comfortable communal area and private garden. The kitchen is really clean and well provisioned with lovely extras like condiments and spices. The free massage chair was an absolute winner! Beds were comfy and with lovely crisp bed linen.
