Overall, an excellent stay. Plenty of car parking, very friendly and courteous welcome on check in and from everyone, room was spacious and tastefully decorated, with good facilities. Property is right next to the busy A1 dual carriageway, but you wouldn't know it inside with the windows closed. Only negative for me was having to preorder breakfast the night before, including time and even tea or coffee! Whilst understanding it is much more convenient for the property that way, I do not necessarily know what I will fancy after a night's sleep. That said, the breakfast was truly superb (as was the evening meal the previous evening)

The staff were excellent, very attentive, breakfast was 1st class. Our room was fine but being so close to the bar/ resteraunt it was a bit noisy and often filled with a strong smell of cooking!
