The coldest hotel room I’ve ever entered. Yes the heating kicked in within 5-10 minutes but you also don’t expect to experience that when you arrive It was okay because we could go to the bar for 30 minutes but it would have been an issue had I got there late and needed to go straight to bed. Staff were helpful and brought an additional heater and the hotel is clean and quiet.

Fabulous stay few minutes from EMA

The man on reception was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and roomy. The shower in the bathroom was really nice, a nice strength and heat. Had a hot breakfast which was excellent, well cooked, good choice and a very nice pancake maker too. Would definitely stay again, was impressed with everything. Plus the car parking was at a reduced rate when staying at the hotel.
