Spacious Room and Friendly Staff
large roomcomfy bedtasty curryfree parking
The triple family room I stayed in was surprisingly large. I noticed there was definitely room for a few more beds. The bed itself was comfy and I liked the bathroom. The restaurant next door served a tasty curry. Parking onsite was limited, but there was free street parking available from 7 pm to 8 am.
I did notice the shower had quite a lot of limescale build-up.
