Pros:

Wir waren zum 3. Mal dort auf der Durchreise nach Cornwall. Die Ausstattung ist etwas älter, aber freundliches Personal und gutes Essen. Die Lage an der Autobahn ist optimal, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Tired
Pros:

Very convenient location

Cons:

Very tired, that in itself would have been fine but the bathroom wasn't the cleanest and the plug was stuck in the sink so not really workable. I had to bail out the sink with the teacup!
I did notify reception and the young lady was helpful but unable to help as she had a broken arm.

Perfect stop over if travelling. Has everything you need.
Pros:

Staff interaction was attentive, polite & efficient.
A good basic clean room with comfortable bed.

Cons:

Fruit options at breakfast could have been more inventive to save waste i.e. chopped or sliced selection rather than a bowl with over ripe fruit in it.

Wholesome food and great value all round
Pros:

The experience was great.
The value was exceptional and the food was really good value and satisfied a hearty appetite.
Pleasant staff through out.
We used the accomedation to attend a local wedding and would definitely return

Cons:

There is no getting away from the rooms being a bit tatty, the bathroom needs a serious 'hotel Inspector ' make over but for the price for 2 nights I would endorse the value outweighing the tired bathroom. the bed was firmer than I like but I slept well, the room was quiet enough despite a phone going in the next room several times from 6:30 am. on one morning, but that can happen anywhere.
