I stayed in the 'portacabin' type accommodation at the side of the hotel rather than in the main building. No frills but the room was clean and functional with everything you need for an overnight stay. There's a great fridge/ freezer but only a kettle and a microwave but with an Aldi across the road there was no chance of starving. Great location with loads of parking.

Undertaking a huge refurbishment due to new owners but it did not affect anything at all, the suite we stayed in was clean and tidy, even next to a main road the road noise was minimal. Very nice owners and were there when we needed help.
