Stayed for 2 nights, there was no parking and to park in the local car park for the two days cost £42 so would definitely not stay again, the staff were friendly, inconsistent breakfast really good on the 1st morning 2 of everything and very filling, 2nd day was 1 of everything, not much choice either Full English or sandwiche, no decaf tea available. There are no staff in the building overnight so if there are any problems you have a number to call.
