There was no road noise and plenty of parking. Location is excellent, close to the A66, but far enough to avoid noise.

Satisfactory Hotel Experience

fresh decor helpful staff overpriced menu small bed

The decor was indeed nice, and the hotel looked freshly updated. The staff proved very helpful and dedicated to their work. I found good access to the car park, with accessible parking spots near the entrance. The location was convenient.

The dining menu seemed overpriced. I considered it excessively expensive. I also felt the bed was far too small. It was a Comfy Double. I question if it was a true double size.

The staff was very friendly (.). The breakfast had good-sized portions and everything was cooked perfectly. My room was clean and cozy with complimentary soft drinks.

The dining menu felt overpriced. The bed was far too soft. It was very uncomfortable. I could not adjust the heating in my room, so it was cold.
