    Guests who stayed here loved

    “Loved the location of the hotel. The staff were very welcoming. Car park on site which is a pre-requisite for us as we were travelling by car. The room was comfortable with en-suite bathroom. Perfect for a one night stay. Air-conditioning in the room would have been welcome as it was extremely hot in the room. The room came with a tall fan, which was used, allowing us to sleep in the heat. However, it was not the hotel's fault that it was extremely hot - we were staying during an extreme heatwave!”
