Cold and uncomfortable night. Wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

Location was good. Staff were friendly. Food was good.

Cons:

Room was very cold due to heating problems, the heaters that could be provided had ran out. Window wouldn’t shut correctly and had a big gap letting in a draft. The lighting in the room was very dull even with the main light, bathroom light and both lamps turned on. Also there were no plug sockets near the mirror, making getting ready to go out difficult.

It’s absolutely fine for a pre-flight stay, with the bonus of free parking & somewhere for food!
Pros:

We stayed prior to a flight from Luton. It’s a short distance to the airport with the advantage of plenty of free parking which a lot of places don’t have. It’s attached to the pub so you can get a meal. It’s connected to it but still separate so you don’t get the noise from the pub.

Cons:

We had one of the rooms without heating. There was a small electric heater provided which for us was enough but for others it may not be.
