The roadworks on the motorway that take you to the exit junction are horrendous, stay in the left lane as soon as your map's tell you it's approaching. I had to come off and go back on myself, glad the bar was open when I arrived!

Cannot fault this hotel or the staff in any way! Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, decent food and extremely affordable. The toiletries were of a decent variety and lovely too. After reading some rather horrifying reviews, I found myself looking for such faults. However, i didnt find a single one. Will certainly return and use the hotel again if travelling in this area.

No main light in the room - only had lights in the bathroom & 2 small bedside lights so the room was really dark. There should have been a light above the mirror in the room but this didn’t work. Main shower in the bathroom also didn’t work - had to use the smaller shower head. Walls were paper thin - could hear someone in a neighbouring room snoring and then what sounded like choking & making the strangest noise all night which wasn’t very pleasant. Plenty of towels & breakfast included which was nice.

Good accommodation
Warm welcome from reception, Room comfortable and clean, bathroom fan a bit noisy as it runs continuously all night, duvet a bit heavy for the weather. Breakfast OK, but nothing special. Good to have a car charger on site for a top up. Would use chain again.
