"Spacious clean room and bathroom. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Continental breakfast was much appreciated as was the automated coffee machine and wide tea selection. Great to have two luggage frames and heated towel rail which could fit two towels! Extra toiletry items were appreciated. Off road parking outside unit. Short drive to town centre."
