A warm and friendly experience
Pros:

As usual the staff went above and beyond . Our arrival was seamless, room with heating on and curtains drawn , side lights on A real welcome as usual . On departure the next day , a member of staff came to our room and said we could stay after 11am until our taxi came for the airport . Such a kind thought .
