Lovely staff, the bed was really comfortable and the breakfast was freshly cooked - so much better than the usual heat tray types.

Simply cannot complain at this pricepoint for 2 adults and 2 children (double and 2 single beds)
Simply cannot complain at this pricepoint for 2 adults and 2 children (double and 2 single beds). Large, well-lit car park immediately outside and check-in is in the pub/restaurant. Room was quiet, bathroom was fine, beds were ok. Can't complain and would stay again. (Note: Aviator pub/restaurant has bad reviews which put us off and so we ate elsewhere but... it was absolutely heaving all evening so the locals can't be wrong. Would try eating there next time)
