Very comfortable for a nights stay
Pros:

Super nice and clean, private quiet rooms.

Cons:

Road outside was extremely loud throughout the night and early morning. Shower gel was provided but sachets of other self care products would be useful.

Perfect for my needs
Pros:

The staff were super friendly. The room was quiet and comfortable. It was the perfect pit stop. With a fantastic power shower. And on-site parking. Always grateful when there is a kettle to start the day with a brew.
