Good value for money, plenty of take away and supermarkets close by
Pros:

Perfect for getting the ferry to France the next day
Outstanding customer service by Tina.
Tina made sure my motorbike was parked up safely.
Also I had a ground floor room with my bike outside the window.
Tina is a gem and made me a coffee after my trip down from Birmingham.
