adequate stay

cute staff high standards missing lift basic room
i stayed one night. the staff were cute and very competent. the hotel was spotlessly clean. i ate in the restaurant for an evening meal. the standards were high. (a highlight)
sadly, the lift was not working . it was missing completely, not just out of order. i was offered room service as a solution to get breakfast upstairs. the room had no carpet and felt more basic than usual.

Wonderful Dog-Friendly Stopover

convenient location clean exterior nice grassy areas
This hotel is very convenient, especially if travelling on the motorway (the M6). The exterior is clean and cute. I found the restaurant mezzanine area reserved for people with dogs very convenient. The grassy areas are nice for dog walks, unlike typical litter-strewn service areas.
The room felt slightly stuffy and was hard to ventilate, even with the window open.

The hotel offers ample parking spaces and features convenient access directly from the motorway, making it an ideal stop for travelers needing a break during long journeys, especially when driving.

cork flooring open window
Breakfast had quite a bit of choice, and the table I got faced the water.
I found out my room type wasn't available on the ground floor. It also wasn't located in the part of the building that had a lift. I was then moved to a room that allowed pets. The cork flooring gave the room a very plain feel. I struggled to properly ventilate the room even with the window open.
