The hotel is close to shops. A Tesco and a McDonald's are within walking distance, convenient. Access to the main roads is easy. The location is a good value.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The ability to order breakfast to our room was a lovely bonus!
The room fixtures were shabby and worn out. There was no milk on the coffee tray.
