the room had tea and coffee making facilities i requested and received extra milk easily the location worked well for visiting family it was easy to get to the a127 from there. the bed was comfy and the room was warm i felt safe as a solo female traveller which was important to me.

the water pressure in the shower was far too low i have a video as evidence i told the staff in the morning but they did not seem very interested. i was disappointed there was no one on reception till 4.30 pm the reception area was dark and empty when i arrived earlier.
