We stayed just one night. We have recently travelled through UK and these facilities were so much better for a third of the price. The rooms are roomy with a very comfortable sofa, table and chairs, fridge and decent bathroom which was very clean. Would stay again.

Allan

The price was very reasonable but the room was very small for two adults. As it was for only one night it was OK. We could not sit at the table for our breakfast as there was only room for one chair and to boil the kettle we had to sit it on the floor to leave room for the toaster. I would not class this as a double room.. I have used this before and this is the second time my partner has stayed here, we would stay again due to the price.
