What people say

The room was lovely, the food was good and after the initial shock of seeing our two Huskies the staff were very nice to them. The beds were comfortable.Breakfast was only until 9.00am also the information booklet said that you could get breakfast until 12.00am which was not the case. No parking facilities. It was down to us to pay for our parking on 'Pay and Display' machines on the street. This was not helpful as we had no change and we got a 'fine' while we were booking in and asking about the parking situation.
