Hi Michael, thank you for your feed back on your stay. We do have microwaves however they do need to be requested. The parking is unfortunately a tricky one. with 118 rooms and approx. 50 car spaces on site this does make things difficult. We do have additional parking across the road. We apologise for the inconvenience
