Breakfast was very good, but a bit congested at busy times as too many people in there. It was a little lacking; for example, it wasn't a full English, and they ran out of milk, spoons, coffee mugs, and croissants.

Great to have car parking at a reasonable cost. The bathroom had good sized hand soap and shampoo, and they had a supply of toiletries if you had forgotten anything.
