Excellent value, comfortable and close to the motorway
Pros:

Good location with very friendly and helpful staff plus with a bonus of having a bar which was unexpected. The room was very warm but was adequate for our overnight stay. There is also a pub opposite which does food at reasonable prices. Would happily recommend this hotel as it provides excellent value for money.

Cons:

Room temperature
