Good room with a comfortable good sized bed. A few very minor things did not work (like a light over the sink) but we notified the property as we left to ensure they are repaired for the next guest

The room was very small and not really easy to make a cup of tea etc. The noise of trucks was awful. The parking was all over the place!! Staff were lovely though and the room very clean.
