Fantastic Hotel with Spacious Rooms!

large bedflat screen tvtea serviceclean towels
The room was a Club Double or Twin Room, very roomy, and had a large bed. There was even a second bed if I needed it! The flat screen TV and complementary tea and coffee were very welcome. I appreciated the supply of biscuits. The bathroom had clean towels, soap, and shampoo.
The sports bar tables weren't always cleaned as quickly as I expected, with cutlery occasionally left on the floor.

The hotel is in a wonderful setting. It was the ideal location for my stay because it was a short distance from the A12. It is a beautiful location with fabulous grounds and lots of seating areas around the hotel.
