Amazing experience
Pros:

The property was in a good location with plenty of car park. The staff was amazing, we were late due to my boyfriend’s flight and they were very accommodating, they were friendly and welcoming. The room itself had everything in, with welcoming water, a sleeping pack, and plenty of choices between hot drinks and a few packs of biscuits. They also provided emergency contact numbers, 4 or 5 different people that could help if needed. Breakfast was included and had a set menu to choose between 5 dishes and then a section which had cereals, drinks, toast and croissants. It was really cool to have a pub downstairs!

Cons:

The only slight issue was the shower which was quite small and especially difficult to move in.

If I had only been staying one night I would have given 10 out of 10. Disappointed 2nd evening
Pros:

Pub, food and entertainment all under one roof. Generally the staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Cons:

Asked for room to be turned over and never happened. Breakfast the 1st day excellent, helped that the staff were good and made us a latte. Breakfast 2nd morning, filtered coffee only as told coffee machine broken! Pancakes either overcooked or left under heat as couldn’t cut top 2 very well.

Modern Spicy Shipping Room
Pros:

Das Zimmer war modern und sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Bett war ausgesprochen komfortabel, und die Größe des Zimmers war angenehm und völlig ausreichend. Besonders praktisch waren die hauseigenen Parkplätze.

Cons:

Die Bedienung im Pub bringt manchmal nicht genau das, was man bestellt hat. Aber das Frühstück ist trotzdem traditionell englisch und schmeckt gut.
