Small bedroom and bathroom but spotlessly clean. Lovely lady when we checked in and explained night procedure to us, gates locked to secure car park etc. Restaurant not open on the Sunday night we stayed but had a beer from the bar and sat outside in a small terrace area. Free WiFi. Didn't hear any noise at night. Breakfast was the usual continental selection.

The location appeared to be a long walk to the town centre or restaurants/bars. No kettle in the room.

Only a few minutes from the motorway and as we were passing through this was a plus. Also the restaurant onsite was an added bonus and even more so when the evening meal was excellent. The Staff at the reception and in the restaurant were lovely and friendly. Room was simple, clean, comfortable and adequate. Our dog was welcome.

Very comfortable, clean, quiet, easy check in/out. Staff were friendly and helpful and the added bonus of a very tasty hot meal in the restaurant was perfect after a long day driving. Travelled with our two dogs who were made very welcome …. even when barking at the local cats 😄 great value for money for the room and in the restaurant

Room was clean and comfortable, evening meal was nice and simple and quite tasty. Breakfast was standard continental breakfast and again was tasty.

The shower and toilet were a step up from the room and my ade both of us feel as if we were on the deck of a moving boat which was quite unsettling.

The place served its purpose of offering a safe and reasonably comfortable one night stay. The room was small but very clean and smelt nice opening the door on arrival. It is typical of an off-motorway Motel and you get what is offered online. Nothing fancy, just functional. Beautifully clean, large, very new shower. Thank you.

To expect better, one has to be prepared to pay more.

Good location for a stop over. Cheap and cheerful.and clean with parking. Bar if required.

Wasn't given an exit code for the gate ( not on the invoice either), so my early start wasn't as early as hoped.

Very friendly staff. Very convenient for an overnight stay. Quiet rooms with comfy beds. fairly spacious rooms with a good bathroom and nice shower. Fantastic breakfast and plenty of it which was also great value compared to others. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nothing. Everything was really good.

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Very good homemade food at their restaurant. Good continental breakfast +pancakes :)!

Bed a bit too short for us (1,90m) but comfortable otherwise

For the price this was a reasonably comfortable night's stay if it were not for the awful chemical smell of the air freshener.

The one thing that has been commented on by other guests and really needs to be sorted out by the owners is the excessive use of air freshener in the rooms. Despite having my window open all night to try to dissipate the smell, it was still offensively strong in the morning. If the owners of this hotel do not believe their guests about this issue they should try to seek some objective advice.
