Simple and Convenient Overnight Stay

peaceful settingample parkingrestaurant detailimpersonal check-in

The location offered great convenience near the M6, yet maintained a peaceful setting. I found ample parking spaces available, very helpful. The information book in the room had useful menus and local restaurant details. This helped me plan my meals.

Upon arrival, I had to call a number to access a key box, as the main reception was unattended. It felt a bit impersonal, though it was efficient. I hope they improve the check-in process in the future.

My room was spacious. The washroom was also clean. The location was great. I found plenty of parking. I had no trouble finding things to chain my motorcycle to.

I had to phone a number upon arrival. I waited to be allowed into the lodge to get my key. The lighting in the room was very dull. The room was quite dark as a result.
