Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is ideally located close to a busy roundabout, making it convenient for those attending events in the garden marquee. The rooms offer good ventilation and natural light, although noise from the roundabout can be a drawback. The service is efficient but may lack a bit of personal touch. The dining experience, especially with roasted meats, is a highlight. The facilities are modern and well-kept, providing a comfortable stay overall.
I had a great stay at the hotel, especially considering the clean rooms, friendly staff, and fantastic location close to the event marquee in the garden. However, the proximity to the busy roundabout was a bit noisy. The dining experience was delightful with delicious nachos, but the facilities were slightly lacking.
The hotel is conveniently located right on a heavily-used roundabout, close to both bars. The rooms offer good value for money with ample ventilation, but being on a busy and noisy roundabout can be a downside. The service, though efficient, could be more attentive to housekeeping details.
