Good stay

Great stay on route to final destination. Ample car parking, great welcome, modern with suitable facilities like a 24 hour reception, vending area and bar. Hotel does bar meals and breakfast is included which was good quality and replenished regularly. Lady in reception, Donna was very friendly. Room location was great on the ground floor and probably the biggest hotel room I’ve stayed in. It had enough space for all of us - often when trying to book a hotel room for more than 2 adults and 2 children is impossible and you always get offered 2 rooms at double the cost so this was a pleasant surprise. Beds were comfy, good facilities and clean. There is a Harvester next door and petrol station, if you want to venture slightly further there is a bowling alley, McDonald’s, miller and Carter, beefeater etc as well as a b&m and sainsburys. Good location and was helpful for us on our way to Devon to break up the journey

Absolutely lovely stay, at the this hotel. Only thing I was annoyed about was the noise of foot steps at night from the above room. Othewise for a overnight stop before our holiday it was fine. The staff are all nice and answered our questions promptly.

Had a really good time. Very helpful front desk people. Excellent breakfasts. There were a few challenges with getting the room cleaned and the cleaning staff wasn't very communicative. Seemed a bit hit and miss.
