Excellent Pre-Flight Stay!

helpful staffeasy accessfree parkinglow toilet

The staff were very helpful. I really appreciated the easy access to the airport via the taxi service provided. It cost only £31! I will definitely stay here again because two cars parking was included in the price.

The strangely low toilet was not comfortable. I think breakfast should finish later than 9am, especially since lunches are not available.
