Exemplary service. You could not fault either breakfasts or cleanliness, parking is ample and although on a busy road, our room was wonderfully quiet - infact this been the best thre nights sleep we have had in a long time! Very highly recommended. We will definitely return at a later date.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - the room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was also good with options for vegetarians. The service was excellent - ours was a last minute booking on expedia and they were in touch with us within the hour. Overall, great value. We will be back!
