My son and I booked this hotel online, and on our way we were delayed and phoned ahead to ask if a meal would still be available as restaurant closes at 9pm. The lady assured us that it would not be a problem. BUT. Because there is only one advertisment sign close to the hotel which is in an industrial estate which use to serve an airport we went round in circles until we eventually came to the hotel which has a large model plane on it's porch roof. Once inside the owner was well laid back and very helpful telling us to take our time and then he'd show us to the restaurant. The meal was one of the best we had ever eaten and very reasonably priced. Our twin room was spacious enough and clean and tidy although a little out of date as was the bathroom. BUT all we needn't was a bed, a bath/shower and food and this catered for all. For those who don't expect Savoy style accommodation for a small price then this hotel, with all it's faults is very good value for money.
