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.

Cons:

No heating in restaurant and been like this for 2.5 years, bathroom was filthy, no heating in bedrooms, had a portable heater what was freezing. In morning at breakfast, it was served with freezing cold bacon like it had been cooked night before and left in the fridge. Outside light shining through window in room 51 so coukdnt get to sleep as curtains did not block the light. I have requested a full refund
