Visited Moses Gate Country Park this afternoon. Had heard a few people talk about this place being beautiful and well worth the visit. I looked it up and decided to pay it a quick visit. Had a couple of hours to spare and so headed off. Firstly there are many pros and a few cons. The place is, and I repeat is worth a visit. It's peaceful, tranquil and within easy reach of the motorway, railways and airport. No excuses to not visit if you have two or three hours to spare. The views are fantastic. It seems to be well looked after and there are plenty of places to sit and read a book, take that call or even get that report finished. Take food and drink with you as some reports do mention refreshments are available. However this doesn't seem the case. They aren't available sadly. But don't let this put you off. There are shops and supermarkets about 15 minutes away.......

Great stay as usual, asked for a ground floor room and that’s what we got. Food and service are spot on and the beds are sooo comfortable. Everywhere is spotless and clean. The airport shuttle next morning over to the airport was seamless. Will definitely stay here again next trip.

The room was very clean and comfortable, and the shower and bathroom facilities were exceptional. The only minor negative was that I could hear the building's air-con/heating system all night which was very loud. I did not mention it as I was only staying for one night
