Lovely staff, I was greeted warmly and promptly as we walked into the office. The room was pre warmed based on our arrival time, which made us feel really special. The room was very clean well kept albeit dated. All chattels were very well kept and the room had everything we needed. There was plenty of coffees and hot chocolate, and the plunger was an added bonus. Parking directly outside the room was perfect as we brought our pride and joy car and the area in general was so quiet. Good honest accommodation and a very reasonable cost.
