A really good stop!
friendly staff huge bathroom new room easy access
The staff was really friendly. The new rooms had huge bathrooms. There was a sitting area too. I had easy access from M6 (convenient).
I found one slight issue. My room was above the bar. It was a little noisy on Friday evening. I needed to relax after a long drive.

loud music noisy room
The noise was a real issue. our room sat directly above the bar and it was quite loud. i had a long journey, so a quiet evening was needed, but this wasn't possible. The loud music did not help. this definitely impacted the overall experience.
