This is the second time we've stayed here and loved it just as much as the first time. Love the tudor vibe that's carried out across the rooms and the restaurant as well. Very fun. The 2 bedroom unit is fantastic, tv in every room as well as warm and spacious. The onsite restaurant is very handy and food was yummy. We will definitely stay here again next time! Thanks

This hotel was really convenient, the transport links were close and frequent, there was plenty of places to eat nearby as well as the hotel restaurant and breakfast was lovely too. There was a single washer/dryer and thankfully not too busy. The rooms were lovely and spacious and really clean.
