I stayed in the annex luxury apartments which are fantastic. Amazing comfortable king size bed. Luxury bathroom and living area - like a suite set up.
Two large TVs and kitchen - the sort of place you would buy.

I used to stay at this Hotel on a regular (often fortnightly) basis a few years ago as it offered well above average accommodation. I liked its location, which gave a balanced mix of easy access with rural unspoilt views, which is a rare treat for anybody who spends weeks driving up and down the Motorway networks. But what I especially liked was the staff, as they are the entire backbone of this hotel and a credit to its Management, I can't say that i've ever had one negative experience, either...

Had a single room , not en-suite, but the private bathroom was cavernous!. Super breakfast and the nice lady who runs it could not have done more for me. The pub down the road was lovely and although I booked this and the accommodation last minute, I was welcomed in. First rate.
