Pros:

Room and bathroom we'll designed. Clean. Bed and pillows comfortable. Water temperature in shower consistent. Staff helpful and friendly.

Cons:

£30 extra for dog per stay I understand but for 1 night does not represent value for money. Fortunately alternative arrangements therefore made for dog.

Decent place to stay if you need to be in/near that part of London
Pros:

Very friendly staff, good parking (reduced rate), good location by the North Circular, breakfast buffet looked good (I didn;t try it), it was very clean.

Cons:

Inevitably - a little bit of traffic noise since it is so near the North Circular, bed would have been small for two people.
