    Very quiet location, easy to find. Bathroom clean and fresh, but just a little small. Beds extremely comfortable. Parking right at the door. Would definitely stay here again.

    Stayed in February 2025. Good express check in machine. I stayed in room 41 which had one double and one single bed. The room was well set-up including iron and ironing board, plates and cutlery, microwave, dishwashing liquid. The room was clean...

    Extremely happy that the manager allowed us to check in early as we were going to a concert at Berry which started at 12.30 and it gave us time to check in, get our keys unpack and travel to the Showground. Unit was very clean. Lovely firm bed....
