fantastic stay, great value

big carparkamazing roast dinnersclean roomnoisy system
i really enjoyed my stay i appreciated the big carpark available at the site i found it easy to park my car i was also happy that i was well looked after by the owners i especially enjoyed the amazing roast dinners offered they were a total steal at 2 for £20 what a bargain. the staff was very friendly. the location had parking for the event i was attending at piece hall the staff was approachable whenever i had concerns and the room was comfy and clean which was perfect for relaxing after a long day
the toilet seat kept shifting when i sat on it which was a bit annoying the sanilav system was also noisy disrupting the otherwise quiet setting also the kettle was too big to fill in the small basin in the bathroom , made making tea a bit of a challenge
