We stayed here for one night and hope to stay again. The rooms had everything we needed, comfortable beds, TV, iron and board, hairdryer, coffee maker and even a fridge. The restaurant is across the car park and we had a great evening meal and breakfast there, ( breakfast is included in the price, just order it the night before )
