First time at this hotel and ended up missing the turning and going down the A120. Added 30 minutes to my journey. However the hotel is very nice and the staff were friendly and the room was clean. Help yourself breakfast and you need to ask for eggs that are not scrambled.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pillows weren't the most comfortable but still had a good sleep
