Our third stay and this nice hotel in a quiet location , helpful staff and a hearty breakfast to start the day . Our room was clean and comfortable , toiletries were supplied in the bathroom. Our only minor complaint was poor internet service but when we reported this to reception they apologised but did tell us that the internet service is due to be upgraded soon.

Room was clean, but very cold on arrival. Had to rely on getting in room portable heater out, but that did a job. Staff were courteous and friendly. Breakfast was standard fare, but all nicely cooked and presented. All in all, a good value for money stay.

Food not being served after 8.15pm on a Sunday night. The hotel based on the side of the A1 so an obvious commuter hotel with no food. The bathroom fan that sounded far too loud and an out of service car charger

I didn't have breakfast. Parking is easy. Evening meal really disappointing- slimy coleslaw and the sour cream was out of a jar. Wouldn't eat here again. Lady on reception was lovely and really accommodating. Overall the hotel was fine for a one night stay and convenient for A1
