necessary amenities plant-based milk lovely staff thoughtful gesture

i found the rooms provided all necessary amenities for a short stay. plant-based milk was a good option for cereals. i thought the staff were lovely and helpful too. they even prepared food for my friends and me after the kitchen had closed, a gesture i really appreciated.

The towels seemed a bit old and faded. they were clean.

Decent stay

warm welcome friendly staff full english rubbish area unsigned car park difficult access

The team gave me a lovely warm welcome when I got there. I arrived around 2:30 PM. A young lady showed me to my room. The breakfast included cereal and a nice full English.

It was difficult to find the place. I didn't see a signed car park. The car park area looked filled with rubbish so it looks not very clean.
