Advertised on the website was : Full breakfast, but being english that meant to us bacon, eggs etc but it was full continental. The room was fine, clean etc, but a bedside light would have been an asset. Other that that ,staff very friendly & helpful.

There are no words to describe this hotel! Seriously considered sleeping in our car. Luckily we only stayed 4 hours just to shut our eyes before using the shuttle. Do not stay here! Toilet wouldn’t flush which was the least of our concerns.

Was aware of the low ratings for this hotel, but realized that it was really that bad when we got there. If not for the cheap price, i wouldn't consider staying there again. I guess you get what you pay for. 😔

Liked: Staff & service
We were happy with our stay. For £80 and our family for 1 night as a stopover before France it was fine. The decor isn't modern or flash so don't expect too much and water pressure in the taps was pretty awful in honesty. But the staff at check inn were nice and polite.
