Fantastic stay!

superb value clean room quiet atmosphere

The breakfast provided superb value, I felt grateful. The room was beautifully clean. Our teas were topped up daily. It was very quiet. There was no disturbance.

Parking proved a potential issue. The area around the hotel was not the most inviting. I would have liked some vegan options.
