Cheap and lovely stay
Pros:

Its very close to peppa pig world, and close to all the major attractions to visit.

Cons:

The expensive food at the services, even with hotel vouchers, still works out pricey and that’s not the hotel’s fault.

We expected budget accommodation, but this was much worse.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

There were many problems - room smelled damp/musty, shower didn’t work, no hot water, reception was closed in the morning so couldn’t report fault. Got a parking penalty charge despite giving registration in to reception.
