Great location. Very clean room with a well stocked kitchen. Easy parking. Great staff. The continental breakfast is “different” as you have to order it the night before to be delivered to your room the next day. You prepare your own toast and coffee. If you arrive after 6 the office is closed. There was construction, but the rooms are very well soundproofed.

I have stayed here lots of time previously and I think the bed in the accessible room needs to be upgraded and buy some new beds please. It’s a bit hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. Also there is construction going on in the site next door. It’s quite noisy first thing in the mornings. About 7:15 which is ok if you have had a comfortable night but too early otherwise. What about a warning on the website so people have a choice? To stay or not. Next time I want to go here I will phone first for an update on noise.
