"The main thing I was worried about was the bed, I pulled the duvet back, laid on it and it put and instant smile to my face, it was perfect, not too soft, not too hard and no lumps and dips, I could go out now knowing I was going to get a good nights sleep."

A Fab Stay!

wide selection friendly staff ample space

The breakfast included a wide selection of items, I see calorie counts displayed that helped me make good choices. Staff was friendly and very helpful, always available to assist with requests. I found parking very easy and convenient, with ample space available.

The car park felt a bit cramped, maneuvering in a large car was difficult.

Acceptable but Needs Improvement

noisy air conditioning cold room

The room was rather cold. The heating seemed to be controlled via the air conditioning, but it was quite noisy. Turning it off was not an option since the room cooled down too quickly (I prefer a warmer environment).
