As always, our room and bathroom were clean and well equipped. We were welcomed by reception staff, who made sure we had all we needed. There is plenty of free parking right outside the lodge. Can’t comment on breakfast, as we didn’t have it. The hotel is in a very convenient location, less than a 2 minute drive (10 minute walk) in to the town center.

The room was clean, good sized and comfortable. Some of the fittings and fixtures showed signs of wear, nothing of major issue. Good shower and nice having quality coffee bag. Breakfast was fairly basic (only had continetal) but fine, only disappointment was the coffee option was instant and a boiler to help yourself!
