Friendly staff, superb quality breakfast (smoked salmon with hollandaise on muffin, and a cooked breakfast for my husband). Exterior was very American motel and the place would benefit from an upgrade. However, we thought it was reasonably good value, we could park outside our room, the central area was warm and inviting in feel, bed was very comfy and the room was warm. It was quiet, tea/coffee etc in room was plentiful. Our dog was welcome, and there was a woodland walk adjacent for her to enjoy. We would stay again. Not the Ritz, and complete refurb would not be wasted on this place, but given the economics of that, the price we paid, and that of the competition, we were happy staying here. Thank you.
