I had a pleasant stay, with clean and spacious rooms that were comfortable, though the noise from the air conditioning units was a bit distracting at times. The staff made me feel welcome and were attentive to my needs, which added to a positive experience. However, I found the dining situation hectic, especially with families around, and the breakfast could have been warmer. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, but some improvements in the dining area would be appreciated.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with super quick check-in and a lovely breakfast that helped fuel my day. The rooms were clean and fairly comfortable, though mine had a quirky layout that made using the desk a bit tricky. The location was convenient, right by the motorway, which was a big plus. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, as I found the lunch and dinner options quite lackluster.

This hotel has a great location close to Peppa Pig World, which is perfect for families, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, the overall experience was marred by a chaotic breakfast situation and cramped rooms. The value for money feels questionable given the high prices and limited dining options.

The hotel was well-located for my business trip, and I found the rooms to be spacious and adequately equipped.

The breakfast was good, but the dinner menu felt overly corporate and uncreative, detracting from an otherwise pleasant stay.
