The room was quiet even on the main road side with a very comfortable bed. The location was excellent for our needs and included lots of free parking. The WIFI didn’t work very well in our room and we couldn’t get online at night, but were able to connect in the morning. The hotel includes an Indian restaurant so there was a strong smell of curry throughout the property.
Very good value for money. The bed and facilities in the room were all very clean. The staff were polite and courteous. Better than most Travelodge which are more expensive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
On checking in to my stay, the staff were very unhelpful. So much so that they didn’t explain to me that in the morning there was a back door you have to exit from, without knowing this information I found myself locked in the property with no idea how to get out. This made me very late for work.
My room was boiling, and wasn’t advertised that it had no windows that opened to the outside. The windows to the room opened out in to a corridor leading to other rooms. This meant the room was also pretty loud with people walking past the door and windows.
On arriving back from work on my second night stay I was greeted by a much more helpful member of staff that told me that I should never have been given that room due to a key to the room being taken by a guest and it was a safety issue.
I then had to switch rooms. At least the new room had windows that opened to the outside.
Personally I will not use this “hotel” again. Unfortunately the price did not reflect the type of stay I received. To many negatives in such a short stay is worrying.

Breakfast should be till 11 AM on an weekend. Location is amazing and rooms are very good!
Positives
Free and ample parking.
Negatives
Hellishly expensive restaurant with no discount for residents.
Poor selection of beers or ales.
Cleaniless of the room in particular window sills left a lot to be desired.
The downstairs of the hotel is a restaurant and nice looking but upstairs was the complete opposite.
Advertised as a hotel, when in reality it is a restaurant with bedsit like accommodation.
Breakfast order was taken the night before with a set time.
Small cups for tea and only half filled and rather stewed.
Poached eggs were cold, hard and rubbery.
Sausage looked half cooked and rather pale like it has only been griddled one on side.
No choice of toast, simply given white.
Overall it was disappointing and certainly won't be returning.
There was a party going on in the restaurant downstairs until gone 11, and the music was loud enough to shame the entire room. Avoid staying here, the room is less than basic, plain white walls and bedding, windows that open into a hallway, and the WiFi doesn't work. Giant air con unit just pulling air from the next room over, horrendously un-eco-friendly.
I must admit to being surprised as I was expecting a traditional pub with rooms and not an Indian restaurant however the staff were so very friendly and helpful. The food was very good if a little expensive
The hotel accommodation was excellant value especially as it included breakfast.
A lovely stop over! My husband and I booked last minute and couldn’t have been more pleased. We were made to feel welcome from the beginning of our stay to the end and the Indian restaurant hit the spot.
Will definitely be back
Lovely friendly staff, room was comfortable but a little basic. A mirror in the bedroom would be a welcome addition.
Breakfast was nice. The hotel is on a busy road but the view from the back was stunning.
They run an indian restaurant with lots of events and we were told that the food was great.
Would stay again.
Great welcome from the staff who were pleased to help. Show my room and friendly at bar. Room very spacious and decor clean and modern. Bathroom and shower excellent.
Breakfast very good and service brilliant.
Business like welcome . Room had air con for a very hot day. Excellent facilities in room but no natural light.
Good meal in evening and good breakfast.
Good service at all times
The food from the restaurant downstairs was very good.
The room was abysmal as the window opened out to the internal fire escape corridor. As such the room was essentially a badly ventilated oven. A portable AC unit was provided, but to use it you had to leave the window to the corridor open meaning you could wave to anyone going past, but not talk to them as the AC sounded like a jet. Further to this the corridor had motion sensing lighting so all night it would randomly come on and illuminate my room.
Staff were rude and disinterested, room was clean but locks broken off bathroom door and large cracks in the wall. The breakfast I had was the poorest of quality, i was very please to leave and never return!
A warm, friendly welcome on arrival. Room was clean with a comfy bed and pillows. Breakfast cooked to order with plenty of options. Nothing to complain about and will certainly stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Accommodation fairly average, as with many hotels today. Bed ok if under 6ft. TV basic.
The food was an Indian Restaurant - Quality of the food was excellent, but watch out for the service charge.
Overall the hotel and restaurant were good for the price.
