Very expensive bed
Pros:

£100 each per night and no breakfast!!! Definitely not value for money. Original package offered breakfast. One given did not but price went up. Not value for these premises.

Very comfortable.
Pros:

Comfy beds, restaurant nextdoor, easy car parking, reasonable price. It also had an Asda opposite so I could grab the food for our next stop.

Cons:

It wasn’t obvious that I had to pick up the keys from the restaurant. It really wasn’t a biggy, it became quite obvious very quickly, they had probably sent me a message but I hadn’t spotted it, I’m useless at picking those up.

Pros:

Brilliant staff at restaurant . Particularly Aiden ( apologies if I got the name wrong 🤗)

Cons:

Breakfast poached eggs on second night were not runny , but that's my preference I suppose . Could have offered yogurt with fruits . Very heavy cereal and bread options. Will say that the service was excellent !!!
