Pros:

Great location for me as near to friends I was visiting .

Cons:

The shower in my room certainly was powerful & hot. But I had trouble positioning it towards the centre of the bath !! It kept swinging back to the wall .

Für zwei drei Nächte empfehlenswert. Nähe zum Santa Pod Raceway hervorragend.
Pros:

Tolles Personal. Hilfreich, sehr sehr freundlich. Täglich frisches Wasser im Zimmer, Kaffee und Tee. Leicht zu finden. Trotz Hauptstrasse sehr ruhig im Zimmer. Gute Frühstücksauswahl, grosse Portionen zum Abendessen. Bar hat alles an Wein, Bier, Ale und Spirituosen sowie Snacks, was man braucht.

Cons:

In unserem Zimmer hat es immer etwas komisch gerochen. Bett war für unsere Verhältnisse etwas eng. Beim nächsten Mal buchen wir eine andere Zimmerkategorie, die hat das grosse Bett 😉. Badezimmer sehr klein. Alles in Armlänge vorhanden. Aber: sehr sauber!!

Pros:

Lovely building good sized car park friendly staff and good value

Cons:

We were in Bedroom 1 it is a bit dated although clean. The curtains didn’t fit properly…not great if you’re light sensitive due to outdoor lighting

Did the job but could be better.
Pros:

The property was a great location for the Autodrome and the food very good.

Cons:

The restaurant closing at 8pm and the bar at 9pm on a warm summer evening. As guests, we went back to our hotel hotel room as we couldn’t drive as had a few drinks in the sunny courtyard before finding this out.

Staff were sat around, on eclipse night this should have been buzzing- but the restaurant was soul-less. I’d say there were more staff than customers. There was plenty to keep them occupied- the tables outside were filthy, cigarette buts all over the floor, cobwebs all over the fencing. If it’s so quiet, look at why and improve it. It’s not just ‘the way it is’ as sometimes ‘it’s the way you are’.

Clean, comfortable, friendly and reasonable value. Would happily stay here again…but fix that window catch please!
Pros:

Very friendly staff on arrival, Exceptionally clean, spacious twin room, comfortable beds, good refreshment tray in room.

Cons:

The catch on the window was broken which wasn’t ideal in the hot weather we are experiencing, and I noticed someone had mentioned this in an earlier review so it is something that has not been addressed.
Breakfast service was very slow on the Saturday morning, but the waitress was great.
