Excellent stop over
Pros:

I liked the fact that we were in the outside bit because it was convenient as my husband has.mobility issues and he is a smoker and it meant he didn't need to struggle when he wanted a smoke he could just go out the door and there was a seat at the door he could sit on to smoke. Also really nice breakfast and good friendly staff.

Cons:

I would have liked a couple of chairs in the room .
