Comfortable rooms, good food, includes breakfast. Perfect stopover for travellers.
Pros:

Clean, modern, comfortable rooms. As a stop over location this was great to be able to have evening meal and breakfast on-site. Plenty of parking available.

Cons:

Located near main road away from town centre. I would not stay here for an extended time, but perfect for a so over.

Good location, helpful staff.
Pros:

Breakfast had a good selection and catered for gluten free which was good.

Cons:

Having to pay £30 for my dog to stay, who sleeps in a crate and wasn't left in the room unattended. I understand the charge if there were any accidents, but as there was no damage and she doesn't molt, I felt it should have been a refundable deposit.
