Solid Hotel with Great Breakfast

great breakfast spacious room easy parking
The hotel is a short walk to the town center. I found the breakfast to be really good with a wide choice of items. My room was spacious and the bed felt comfortable. I also liked that there was easy parking available at the hotel.
The hotel is dated and in need of some refurbishment. I noticed some musty smell throughout the rooms . There were also some weeds growing on the hotel's sign upon arrival.

Satisfied Stay

friendly staff vegetarian options quiet area friendly team
The staff was friendly. They accommodated my request for vegetarian options, even though those items were not listed on the regular menu. I found a quiet area within the big car park. The reception team was friendly, providing helpful information. The hotel has interesting historical details, including photos related to the RAF's training during world war ii.
The room was a little too small for my liking.
