Plugs were not in a convenient place which meant the lamps on the bedside tables weren't actually plugged into anything and we had to charge our phones across the room. In terms of price it was very reasonable and the facilities were kept very clean.

We had a good stay, when ringing for support to find the entrance and how to enter was very supported and sent all necessary details, free parking close by and isn’t too far a drive away from everything. Very quiet no banging through the night etc.
