A good stay

Our stay was good. The one thing that has stuck with me is how fantastic the staff are, they can't do enough for you, so I am grateful dor that. Rooms could do with an extra pillow. We paid for breakfast on the morning and it wasn't the most amazing quality (apart from the sausages), so that needs looking at. Everything we needed was there. Good location.

Just off the Motorway, plenty of parking and several fast food outlets and a petrol station within a 5 minute walk . This does mean there is some noise but the double glazing was excellent . Friendly helpful staff .

Other than the [false] fire alarm @ 1am [a one-off, I'm sure] and the noise from the corridor fire door adjacent to the room, all else was well and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Very basic but cleanliness wasn't great. Convenient location. Uncomfortable beds. Fire alarm went off middle of night - understand this cannot always be helped when a false alarm however the situation poorly managed, no staff around to assist or indicate what to do. No apology etc.
