March 17, 2011We only stayed in the hotel over night and didn't arrive until quite late in the evening 9ish. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The breakfast service was what you would expect and the price was excellent.
The room was large and with an actual double bed and not 2 singles pushed together. The room. Had sky tv. The breakfast service was good with alot of options.
We struggled to find the hotel despit having sat nav. We stayed on a Saturday night, which was karaoke night in the down stairs pub, we were on the top floor and could still quite clearly hear the singing.
