We only stayed for one night but were very happy with our stay. Staff were helpful, friendly and courteous and our room was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast that was part of our accommodation package as it enabled us to be up early, fed and continue on our holiday journey.

All the staff were excellent, breakfast was Good. It was so noisy, the room was so hot, we couldn't sleep. People going to Macdonald's so early in the morning was also noisy. I thought it was very expensive £133 for a night and breakfast, but the staff made the stay worthwhile.

Lowest type of economy chain hotel. Unventilated room with panel heater or cheap desk fan. Neither make this a comfortable place to be. The bed is Travelodge of 15 years ago - small double, low quality mattress (ours made a pinging noise as a spring released) that always moves when the other person move. Restful night on a long journey : forget it. The Greene King pub next door served badly fried food and has sticky floors so that was no consolation. The staff were pleasant enough though!

Very welcoming check in, and very willing to help make us even more comfortable with our stay. They are a dig friendly Hotel, and although we don’t dislike dogs, we asked to be moved in case we were woken by barking pets, and there was no problem at all. The rooms are clean and comfortable and we had a great nights sleep
