8.2/10 Very Good! (709 reviews)
The bedroom was really clean and modern. I was disappointed to have to pay £8 for parking and we met some disgruntled people at the shared spa but overall, it was good value for money.

We had lovely hosts! The breakfast was delicious and we could've only wished to have stayed longer! The airline forgot our luggage and our hosts were most kind and helpful while getting things settled for the airline to deliver our bag. The place was warm and inviting, and was well kept! Next door was a pub with delicious food as well and very convenient. We could not recommend this place enough!
