Just off the A42 and ideal for a stopover. Room was comfortable but no reading light. En suite was reasonable but would have liked a grab handle in the shower. Food was reasonable for dinner but breakfast was a bit basic - no mushrooms, beans or black pudding available on the buffet.

Booked on the same day. Reception texted me with exact directions as the sat nav coordinates cover a big area, which was a great start. Arrived, checkin was smooth, double room allocated on the ground floor. …

A great place to stay for business persons or families passing through. Lovely, comfortable beds, ample parking. Dog friendly with plenty of grassed areas. Dogs are allowed in a section of the restaurant and in basic rooms. Only premium rooms have a walk in shower. Otherwise, it's a great shower over the bath.Staff are delightful. Restaurant food is good. Mcdonalds over the road. There's not a lot to do locally but ideally situated for attractions further afield.Very clean and tidy. It's our 'go to' place when visiting the area.

This could have been a disaster as it was the hottest night of the year and there was no air conditioning! Despite that we managed with a fan. The bed was comfy the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The staff could not have been more helpful. Plenty of parking.

A very comfortable and clean room, very friendly and helpful staff even well after midnight. Lovely breakfast. Fire alarm at 4am was unfortunate but swiftly dealt with.
