Yes, the location is very good , the room is clean, the staffs are good & the breakfast is great.
Overall a pleasant experience. The staff were friendly, the evening meal was good as was the breakfast. If the hotel has high occupancy the restaurant can get very busy at breakfast time, but the reception staff did warn us of this.
Breakfast definitely needs some improvement but the hotel overall was spot on for our stopover on the way the Cornwall.
Staff were lovely and really friendly. Hotel is clean and the room was set up for our family of 4. Plenty of parking (small additional charge), great WiFi.
Really good value overall and definitely recommend.
Lovely well equipped room, fantastic free breakfast. Just a shame a lorry pulled up outside my window very noisily delivering linen at 6am on a Sunday morning!
