warm rooms tasty food
The room felt private. It was like a little house next to the car park. I found some nice extras, including crisps, tea, coffee, and toiletries (which I always appreciate). The food in the evening tasted good. The breakfast was great, especially the full English.
Rooms

The double room included shampoo, conditioner, soap, tea, coffee, biscuits, and plenty of milk. Parking was right outside my lodge (this made loading and unloading easy).
